  Well it's a corker of a flower, but I don't know it.  Could we see a pic of the whole plant, and a leaf close-up?

  That’s great thanks! The photo was me taking a photo from her phone! She’s given me the seeds from the seed head which looked like a giant dandelion I’d love to try & grow some but not sure when to plant the seeds?
