Question
I have these plants in my yard and I'm thinking they are all wild lettuce but one is a little different. Can you help me identify. I will upload pictures.
Answer
Dear Shooker, good morning. The images do look like a species of lettuce. There is tremendous variation, within the same species at the same location, for leaf lobing. I don't know where these images were taken, but if they were within New England, it is likely you have photographed Lactuca canadensis (tall lettuce). This species usually produces yellow flower heads in the summer.
