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.

Creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense) seen displaying thistledown, the mature silky pappus of a thistle. This allows the seeds to be dispersed easily by the wind. The Creeping Thistle can be distinguished from the similar Marsh Thistle by having few if any prickles on its main stem, whereas the Marsh Thistle is covered in them. Taken by David Palmar in Basildon Park in Berkshire.
