    At first it looked like a dandelion, however, I noticed the flower and said oops! Not a dandelion, so far I only have two. Since it looks like a dandelion without a flower it is 'Arboris non Gratis' The leaf shape has a bad reputation, color it gone whatever it is. Any guesses?

    Good candidate Netty, thank you. I will have to watch the flower stalk as the Capsella bursa-pastoris looks slightly different. it is possible that it has not matured.
