Settle Wildflowers - Day 64 - Yellow 12 - Composites 3 - Pilosella, Hieracium, Doronicum

This is "Yellow Composites 3". 

We had Coltsfoot for March-April (Day 2)
Dandelion in May (Day 17).

Todays plants actually came out in May and June:  (The Mouse-ear Hawkweed is still around and flowering - I suspect the other two have finished flowering by now.)

Tomorrow we will have "Composites 4" to start off a run on July/August's yellow composites

1. Mouse-hear Hawkweed - Pilosella officinarum - pastures, dry places
2. Leopard's Bane - Doronicum pardalianches - Guest plant from Cumbria and garden in Long Preston
3. A leafy Hawkweed - Hieracium tridentata (Just one representative of several leafy hawkweeds) - e.g land under viaduct next to Settle Garage; Hoffman Kiln itself.

Mouse-ear Hawkweed - 1st June Footpath to Stainforth It is a lemon yellow colour and the outer flowers are striped red.
