After catastrophes of Fire, Eruption, Hurricane, and Avalanche, they can rise again, like the phoenix, to retrace their patient progress across the land. To procreate their species, they have enslaved whole races of insects. To spread themselves, they enlist wind, sea, and animals as porters. No man can garner sunbeams, or commit his offspring to the wind for a journey of a thousand miles. A dandelion can.
Science has far to go before it matches the ingenuity of a wayside weed.
