Hi, I live in New York and see this flower (see links) in early April. http://pages.prodigy.net/charlanz/WildFlower/P4090013.JPG http://pages.prodigy.net/charlanz/WildFlower/P4180013.JPG it is only a couple of inches high and the flower is less than an inch across. from a distance it could be mistaken for a dandoline. I see it in shaded, wooded areas. the blooms turn to white pufs after flowering and then the plant dies back. Thanks in advance for any help
Yes, I believe you have it. comon name "ColtsFoot" among other comon names. The links that I found for it, say it was introduced to the us by early settelers for medecine reasons. Thank you very much!!!! Charlie
