If dandelions produce seeds asexually, then what is the point of the bright yellow flower?

I mean, a bright yellow flower is supposed to attract insects for pollination. However, dandelions don’t need pollination to reproduce — they produce seeds asexually, resulting in their progeny being clones of the mother. Could the flower be a remnant of their evolutionary past? or do some dandelions reproduce sexually?

Not all dandelions reproduce through apomixis; in fact, the incursion (relatively recently) of the European dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) into Japan has resulted in hybridization with Asian dandelions and, because of the shorter pollen tube produced by TAOF also means that it can “block” native pollen and prevent fertilization.
But I digress. Well, not really. So you can see from its congeners that some dandelion species reproduce sexually. So it’s likely TAOF reproduced sexually in the past, but the ability of apomictic species to reproduce rapidly without any others of its species around would be such a great advantage in a tasty-flowered long-distance-seeding plant that the asexually repsoducing ones would survive.
And there’s still some mutation and DNA transcription “errors” in meiosis that can result in differences between offspring and parents, even without sex.
