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.

Marmalade Hoverflies on Fox-and-cubs

East Dunbartonshire, Milngavie and Bearsden
Marmalade Hoverflies (Episyrphus balteatus) drinking nectar from Fox-and-Cubs (Pilosella aurantiaca). This is our most common hoverfly. They are on the wing throughout the year but can be seen in large numbers like this in the summer. Fox and Cubs, Orange Hawkbit or Orange Hawkweed (Pilosella aurantiaca or the synonym Hieracium aurantiacum) is aggregated under Hawkweeds and / or Hawkbits in the genus Pilosella, or alternatively Hieracium agg. The botanical classification seems complicated at the very least! Picture taken by Sarah Longrigg in Milngavie.

Hawkweed (Hieracium agg.) is very difficult to ID down to species and is generally stated as an aggregate of many microspecies. They have erect stems and each 'petal' is actually a floret. This photo was taken at Tràigh nam Bàrc, Colonsay.
