I think the phrase "the dandelion was blown away" means that although the dandelion was blown away, its seeds flew farther and spread wider, seemingly getting nothing but getting more.

Because from October to November every year, dandelion seeds will burst when they mature, and when blown by the wind, they will leave the receptacle and fly everywhere like small parachutes, taking root wherever they land. , this process is also the process of dandelion completing sowing.

The dandelion blew away. It was the dandelion that spread the seeds. It is spread by the wind.
