Try an image search for Hieracium. Sounds like it could be one of them.

hosta, thanks but it wasn't that. This has a base cluster of leaves that look very close to dandelion leaves but the stalk or two that rise from the center have a top cluster of 3-4 tiny dandelion type and color flowers per stalk.

That almost sounds like a hawkweed to me, Dottie. I get it in my gardens. The leaves are more succulent and hairy that dandelion, but are the same shape & such and the flowers are like a loose cluster of small dandies on a stalk.

Have you ever tasted Dandelion leaves?? I would have to be very desperate for something green.

Actually, dandy leaves are great in a wilted salad first thing in spring. I don't think i'd like them any other way, though, since they are mighty strong.
