BRISTLY OXTONGUE

 It's usually quite difficult to separate all the different, yellow, dandelion type flowers but this one is easy if you look at the leaves.  


The answer is in the name, Bristly Oxtongue: the leaves are covered in bristles sprouting out of whitish pimples.  
The flowers are fairly bright yellow and quite robust.  
A cheery sight in autumn, and flowering quite late this year.

  1. A great little plant. Its lovely to see a few spots of colour as everything else is dying back for winter.
