    I think fif is correct, Orange hawkweed.

    This plant has lots of names including Tawny Hawkweed, Devil's Paintbrush and Fox-and Cubs.

    It's pretty but can be a bit of a thug. One for a slightly wilder corner rather than manicured borders IMO image

    Both topbirds and fifs Latin names are correct. They keep changing it. Not sure which is the current one.image

    Thanks for the warning Topbird! I've been reading up on it and am going to 'nip it in the bud' as soon as it starts going to seed. I do like it though.
