Hawkweed, Milton, Dumbarton

West Dunbartonshire and Clydebank
Yellow flowered hawkweeds are typically referred to as Hieracium agg. This is due to the large number of microspecies of Hawkweed which even specialists struggle to identify. This yellow flower is more common in Northern Britain than in the South and can be seen between June and August. Like a Dandelion, it is in Asteraceae, the Daisy family, and produces fluffy seed heads which aid wind dispersal of the seeds. Taken by David Palmar.
