Three Common Dandelions showing different stages of flower development. Tallest scape having lost achenes to the wind. One scape beginning to open into typical, ball of bristled pappus. Two heads are semi-closed and show yellow ligules, and the last head is fully open with exposed ray flowers.
This was once a planted tree but since has escaped cultivar and started a grove of magnolia babies (some trees looking 20+ years).
There are many escaped daffodils on old home sites and road side ditches. Some daffodils even grow in the woods where you wouldnt expect to see them.

The family is characterized by flowers with parts mostly on the plan of four (four sepals, four petals, four or eight stamens), but there are some exceptions. The ovary is inferior. Long hypanthium. Petals are yellow with pinkish tinge.
Single yellow flower with many ray flowers and no disk flower
