The very very young yellow dock weed [Rumex crispus] looks attractive with its broad, light green leaves. A bit older, its dark green, long, spindly leaves create a spoke-like pattern as a rosette close to the ground. Mature, it stands tall, with a purplish cast to its body parts.
So what yellow dock looks like depends upon the particular life stage. A link to an extension publication shows the passage from stage to stage. The page supplements the clear photos with a brief but helpful written description.
