hawkweeds
Dandelion-like meadow plants
Hawkweeds are plants of the genus *Hieracium*, with small dandelion-like flowers typically yellow or orange.
They spread aggressively through meadows and roadsides, often considered weeds.
The name suggests a folk belief that hawks ate the plants to sharpen their vision.
The hillside was covered with orange hawkweed.
