Description
I came across this (wild flower?) growing on a marshy path at the nature reserve today. I wasn't sure so took this shot for ID only. It is a bit grainy, taken in poor light with my compact camera. I am sure Andrea will know what it is?

We have them here too, it is Hawkweed. http://www.flickr.com/search/groups/?q=hawkweed&w=737853%40N23&m=pool It comes in orange and yellow colors. In my part of Northeast PA, the yellow is more abundant, I need to look a little harder here to find the orange ones. Wonderful capture of this beautiful wildflower!

Dorothy is right, it was a Hieracium, now called Pilosella aurantiacum. Orange hawkweed. My mum planted this in the front 'lawn', and it has been a joy ever since. It spreads rapidly by seed and runners, but is easily removed when unwanted. I grow it with the bright purple geranium Alice Folkard, a brilliantly vulgar plant association!
