Yellow Hawkweed: The 86th Flower of Spring & Summer!
This flower should look a bit familiar, since it's another species of Hawkweed similar to the Greene's Hawkweed I posted just a couple of days ago!! If you take a look below, you'll see how different they are. Like I mentioned in my previous post, there are more than 10,000 recorded species of Hawkweed flowers, and it's likely that there are several growing on our property that I can't tell apart. Unfortunately, I have no idea which species this is, but it's obviously not a Greene's Hawkweed!
Hawkweed flowers can be found all over the world and though they are similar to dandelions, they aren't in the same sub-family. Hawkweeds are considered an invasive weed in most places because it spreads so easily and is hard to get rid of, once established. This flower is, however, a favorite food for many insects including moths and butterflies.
If you would like to know more about this flower, Wiki has two sources:
