The small height and single flower heads let me know that this is Mouse Ear Hawkweed.
In addition, there are reddish stripes on the outside of the flower head petals. There
is a similar plant known as Large Mouse Ear Hawkweed (Hieracium xflagellare),
but that plant has two to 4 flowers heads (rarely 1) per flower stem and the blacks
of the leaves are not so white wooly. The backs of these leaves are not quite as
white wooly as I would have liked to confirm the identification, but everything else
indicates that this is Mouse Ear Hawkweed.
