Thanks for clearing that up, Ted! I have given you credit on the pages, as "Tedhort".

I have seen these plants for years but did not know what they were.

Weed #2 might be Emilia fosbergii, Tasselflower. The flowers match not so sure about the leaves.

I thought #2 was a tassel flower also.

Thanks, Weedwoman and Remy. I have updated the page, with both possibilities listed and given you credit (Hyeracium & Emilia)

#4 is a native tassel flower; Florida tassel flower, Emilia fosbergii

Thanks, Susanc. I have updated the page.

I don't think Weed #1 is prickly lettuce or hawkweed. I think it's just a vanilla variety of lettuce that someone planted nearby that got a little out of control (hehe). I have the same exact weed growing on the north side of my yard here in Jacksonville, FL.

I don't think it is prickly lettuce because, well, it isn't prickly in any way! Also, the only leaves this plant seems to get are at its base. The descriptions and pictures of prickly lettuce I've found show lots of north/south leaves on the stem.

Furthermore, the stem and roots of this weed do not excrete any sort of sap which is supposed to be a characteristic of prickly lettuce.

I'm not 100% positive but a taste test did reveal a very plain lettuce-like flavor (LOL). For reference, I didn't swallow =)

Thanks, Riskable. I have added your suggestion to the webpage and credited you.

I also added another photo, with more prickly leaves.

This is a puzzling plant.

#1 is crepis japonica... hmmmm... now called youngia japonica I think... It's leaves are edible. I have an article on it at my website and two videos about it on You Tube. The site is eattheweeds dot com, look at Crepis II on you tube... type in eattheweeds ... it is video 57

I agree.... chickweed... and the emelia... asian ones are eidble. I am wondering if the native one here in FLorida is.
