Fox and cubs.. orange hawkweed.
Self seeds all over the place.
Total menace.
Good luck getting rid of it!
Sorry!

It’s Hawkweed and the bane of my life it takes over the whole garden if you’re not careful

Oh thanks Fleur - here was I thinking it’s some variant of poppy and I was going to uproot one and plant it in my garden 😩

We have them too. They do attract insects and are much easier to get rid of if necessary than bishop’s weed, with which we are inundated!
