It looks like a dandelion, but its stems, leaves and flower are different. This is Spotted Cat's-Ear. It's not a native wild plant - comes from Eurasia, but is a common sight in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. More on this plant here... http://www.namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=731
@yonnie Are you a photographer? You should begin to notice the differences soon! 365 will do that to ya! LOL! Thank you, Yvonne!
@karenann You are too kind, Karen! Thank you very much! xo
@sugarmuser Thank you, Sharon! Appreciate your comments!
@alisonp I saw the hawkbit and compared it to my pic. It's another similar but different plant. Thank you for your comments and visit, Alison! Most appreciated!
@alisonp I just took a look at your pic and I do think it is hawkbit (aka hawkweed) because of the cluster growth. Spotted Cat's-Ear does NOT grow in clusters like that and their stems are long and leggy. http://www.namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=692
@kdei Are you a photographer? LOL! I noticed the differences in dandelions and these things - their leaves, stems and small flower heads. The first things I noticed was that they had NO curly cues in the flower like real dandelions do. So I researched them. Besides, I hate to pass on false information. There are actually about a dozen different plants that look like dandelions but are NOT. This is just ONE among them. I search the plant identifying websites and get my info there, comparing apples to apples, instead of apples to oranges - if that makes sense. LOL! Thank you for your comments and visit, Kim!
@tryeveryday Yeah, that's the trouble with the internet! Too much false information and people perpetuating it. Not every little yellow flower that looks like a dandelion IS a a dandelion. Appreciate your lovely comments, Michelle! Thank you!
@lyno Thank you, Lyn! LOL! I hate to pass on false information! The internet is already full of it. I'd rather be part of the solution than part of the problem.
@janets Thank you, Janet! Appreciate your comments!
@wenbow Thank you, Wendy! There are about a dozen different plants that look like dandelions that aren't. I just hate to pass on bad information.
