When I first saw these flowers I thought they were an unusual variety of Dandelion but after a little bit of research I discovered that they are Orange Hawkweed. I found these growing on a slate wall alongside the river Glaslyn in Beddgelert. I don't actually like the name of this plant because the "weed" part makes it sound unwelcome but it looks fantastic adding a splash of rich warm colour. What do you think, weed, or wildflower???
I think it is a really beautiful flower and the pollen at the heart of the flower is so intricate... I love macro photography.
If you like this come back tomorrow for another different flower.
