You gotta know what to search. I started with the wiki page on dandelions, and went from there to the page about the white fluffy stuff on dandelion seeds. Then learned that only flowers in one family have the white fluffy stuff to carry their seeds.
But it was a big family. I pretty much gave up until I got the clue that it was a vegetable. That and the close-up of the flower helped me find a search phrase to put in Google Images. From there I browsed through the images to find the right flower, looked at the page it was on and *poof*... lettuce.
