I think I asked last year but never got definite answers. I got new pictures. I've never seen any flowers. They're different than the leaves from a dandelion weed.

Also, what's this one? It's different.

I think the top picture is prickly lettuce - edible.

Is the first one some sort of chicory? (Perhaps cultivated?) That'd be my guess. Not sure of second. Where do you live?

I live in Georgia.

What about these little white flowers?

Underside of the first weed. I just want confirmation it is prickly lettuce. Looks like what I googled. Just want second opinion. Thank you

those little white flowers look as though they are from some sort of bulb or tuber: in general, bulbs such as allium, daffodil, hyacinth, lillium are not supposed to be fed.

the first 3 pictures you posted do look like some type of lactuca or prickly lettuce, but the one w/the heavily serrated leaves looks a little different from the second two, almost like a wild brassica but it could just be a different species or subspecies. they generally look like edible stuff to me...you'll know if it's a brassica, as it will have flowers looking like some sort of wild mustard...prickly lettuce or lactuca have more of a dandelion looking flowerhead (but often w/multiple flowers)

Now that I'm looking again, the first one does look a little different than 2 an 3. The underside leaf is from 2.

The little white flowers are all over my yard and my neighbors. I don't think they're a bulb plant. I was thinking some wild flower or something.

I'm going to pull up what is edible. My boyfriend is cutting the grass this weekend.
