What are these lovely yellow flowers called? This beautiful photo is by photographer Peter Young, but we don’t know what the flower is…over to you, brilliant blogging friends 🙂
Similar, we think, Cindy, and thanks for the suggestion, but overall it’s thought that the flower is Doronicum orientale common name: Leopard’s Bane, which, according to Kew Gardens, is ‘an early-flowering, lemon-yellow daisy, with a single flowerhead on an upright stem, and soft, rounded leaves’.
Well now…the latest is that the friend who asked the question has had more input and believes the flower to be Inula, as Cindy said. Well done Cindy 🙂 Glad we can rely on the blogging world to come up with great suggestions 🙂 Details below:
· Inula is a large genus of about 90 species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Europe, Asia and Africa.

All seem to be in agreement that it’s an Inula, higher classification: Asteraceae. Isn’t it lovely to have an answer – and yes, it is pretty 🙂
