r-strategist

This flower (it looks similar to a dandelion, but I'm pretty sure it's actually a plant called a Hairy catsear) is an r-strategist. It produces many offspring at a time, but it and its offspring don't change much to adapt to the environment, because their surroundings are unstable and likely to change.
