It's a common mistake, both look very much alike, with just the small differences I pointed out
ops Karen,i must have more carefull whith id's:-/it's not so easy us i thougth,lukely we have people like you to put the thinghs in place:-)thanks for correct me
It is NOT a dandelion. Dandelion seed heads are more transparent and you can see the branches on each seed tuft, as well as the seeds in the middle. They also do not have multiple flower heads as this so obviously has. See the pictures on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taraxacum of both dandelion and hawksbeard for comparison
