This is a dandelion-like flower that grows wild in my yard as weed. It is not a dandelion because the stalks are quite tall, at least 18", and there are multiple flowers on a stalk. The leaves also resemble dandelions.
I see what you're saying. From what I can tell, the leaves are variable. There are some in my lawn with leaves entire and others with lobes. Another possibility is Hieracium.
Thank you for both suggestions. The images I found for the red-seeded dandelion look like the traditional single flower on a stalk type, which is not like my flower. The Krigia biflora flower and stalk pattern is right, but the leaves are not serrated like the leaves on my plants.
