Yes, what Greeks call horta is any collected greens for the pot, although they are usually on the bitter side (not old bitter, just a little bitter in flavor - Americans don't like bitter as much as other cultures). Dandilions just happen to be ubiquitous, especially in our country!

But Volvo's picture really does look like a dandilion to me.

And I think you are looking for an answer as to what this particular variety of green is called, regardless of whether it's a dandilion, is that right, Volvo? Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you, but I'll be interested in what you find out!
