I believe they’re called Late Fall Dandelion – Leontodon autumnalis. Extremely bitter herbal decoction, very healing and nutritious. Technically they aren’t dandelions but closely related:
I enjoy wildcrafting them and make tea with honey, or add them to salads. Like wild thistle it’s very good for liver detox. The roots can be steamed and tastes like wild parsnips. They are very pretty, enjoy before the season’s over. Be well! 🙂
I’m sorry, but my photo must not be clear. Still not the same. Each flower had one layer of twelve petals. They do not produce to puff ball rounded flower of the Leontodon autumnalis in the link you sent, nor the rounded puffy seed ball. The leaves are different, and the stems, do not rise more than two inches above the ground. I did google for images … some were close. It may yet turn out to be the flower you suggest, but the real critter does not match the photos or drawings.
This photo was not from my yard … but from a yard in a small town not too far away. They also had an abundant autumn crop of sand-spurs.
[…] . I also saw these little yellow flowers which Maddie likes to eat. Maddie’s comments and reference links can be can be found here in the comments section: https://bearspawprint.wordpress.com/2014/11/19/now-here-now-gone/ […]

Sorry, not dandelions. Much smaller and lower to the ground. Different flower, but they do share the same colors
