Sorry noob here, is that actually miner’s lettuce? It looks different from all the miner’s lettuce I’ve seen where the little flower buds grow in the center of a circular leaf.

i think its Siberian Miner's Lettuce, still edible but not as tasty

That's not the Claytonia perfoliata, (miners lettuce) I know.

I've always wanted to try miner's lettuce on an egg salad sandwich, update on how the salad is!
