I have fed those false dandelions/cat's ear and also orange hawkweed quite liberally when they are easy to pick. The leaves can be very succulent! The rabbits love them. But it's harder to get them because they grow so flat to the ground, buried in the grass. We also have another dandy imposter called Carolina False Dandelion. It grows more in the half-shade here along the edge of the forest. That stuff gets TALL and the rabbits love it just as much. Our dandelions have a "season" too... There is a huge push in the beginning of May, where the roadsides and yards are just full of yellow balls. But after that week or so of dandelions galore, it's just ones and twos here and there for the entire rest of the spring and summer. Kind of sad. I wanted to go on a picking spree to make dandelion wine this year, but the kids were sick and we were busy. Now I would be hard-pressed to get a cup full of dandelion flowers all on one day.
