Btw, I did use Dandelion in one of those "Do not lose" levels and sadly it does count as losing Dandelion if you use Blover or Hurrikale with it @Mathdude.

Since it loses those spores due to the wind, the game counts it as losing a plant (even though the actual plant is still there). It's really counterproductive if the game cannot even differentiate between losing a plant and losing that plant's "hair".
