Where are the reproductive organs found in dandelions?

Question

Looking at the fiery yellow flowerhead, I have neer seen anything resembling stamens or pistils, but just the many numbered petals themselves. Are the organs hidden somewhere inside the flowerhead?

Answer 1

They are there, but not very large.  Use a magnifying glass -- and, if you run short of dandelions, you are welcome to take as many from my yard as you want.  (Please!)

Answer 2

Dandelion has ray flowers and tube flowers. You have to use the dissecting microscope to see the pistil and stamen of these florets.
