This odd weed suddenly appeared in one of my flower pots.
Bloom is about 1/4 the size of a dime.

It can no longer be called a weed, beauty has upgraded it to a flower status.

It looks like a wild lettuce.

True, but sad.

Weed is such a derogatory term.

It could be a plant called 'goat's beard', so please leave it and see what the seed pods become.

Sow thistle, relative of the dandelion and produces "puff balls" I get them in my yard in So Cal (and dandelions).
And yes, they can multiply just like dandelions after those puff balls start to shed the seeds on the breeze.

Your weed is very pretty and probably quite hardy. Well done.

All of the perennials that are sold as "flowers" are or were just "weeds". A weed is simply a flower that grows where you did not plant it! When I lived in Colorado I had five acres of high prairie around my house. My neighbor kept offering to mow it - it was full of wildflowers - or weeds, I guess, in his opinion. I photographed and cataloged over 50 species of wildflowers on the 5 acres, many if which had histories of use as medicinal plants by native Americans and early settlers of the West.
