ok, I know this is a long shot, but I can't figure out what this certain
plant is.
it has small flowers on it, yellow, that kind of look like teeny marigolds.
with a 'green'?? spot in the center?
they are maybe 3/4 in wide . plant is less than 2 feet tall.

( as a kid we called them buttercups, but I have since been told they
aren't)

If not, try looking up marsh marigolds.

nope.

guess I'll add more description.
it has very tight SMALL petals in the flowers . it is 'domed' shaped &
maybe 1/2 in to 3/4in across

I mentioned marigolds, since they have many many petals & 'kinda' look this
(only the marigolds I have seen in pics do not have the shape I am looking
for)

I have searched for pics all over the internet of yellow flowers.

*sigh*

How about decribing the flower in some detail, including the actual number
of flower parts.

Describe the rest of the plant in some detail also.

guess it will be a couple months till I see the plant again & can get a
picture ( but there might not be flowers anymore.)

thanks for the effort. but that is not the one.

those are not dome shaped flowers, not at all like I am trying to describe.
the petals are really tight, like someone poured 'yellow' into the top of a
thimble, or something.

( I know, i need to get a picture).

Bright yellow dome-shaped flowers with green centers sounds very like some
sort of Euphorbia to me, perhaps E. polychroma, aka cushion spurge, which
should be in bloom right now.
