Beginner Gardening: Wildflower that has Carrot top looking foliage, 1 by pammesue

I have this clump of wildflowers in the late summer and in the spring it has buttercups. I want to clean up this area, mulch it and build a stone circle around it. HOWEVER, Im not sure what these flowers look like if they aren't blooming. There are a lot of random "carrot" looking weeds that are only here in this circle. Could this be the future flowers? I don't want to pull them or dig out the wrong thing.

thanks :-)
