Anyone know what this may be?? They are everywhere right now. They grow a single stem up about 8" (before being mowed) and the bloom closes around dusk. THX

It looks like what is known as Texas dandelion (but's it's not a true dandelion from what I understand.)

That looks to be the one....THX

You're welcome. :)
I don't usually see my bees working them (although they are plentiful). What's your experience?

I have not witnessed them working them here either but one can always hope.

Just kidding!!

Well, after me opening my big mouth yesterday about my bees not working them, guess what I saw bees in this morning? :shock:
