Can anyone identify this plant? - bathtub tom

It started growing in a corner of my garden and I left it to see what it was, but I can't identify it, it's about 500mm high. SWMBO swears it's a weed!

Isn't a weed just a plant which is undesirable?
So whether it is or isn't is entirely dependant on whether you like it or not!

I can't say I know what it is but the leaf looks familiar. I'm sure I've seen them in my garden but pulled them up before they've flowered.
If it is a weed then it isn't entirely unattractive.
If they were bunched together in a tub and mixed with something else it would look ok.

Its a dandelion, or at least in the same family, and having had a quick check in my books, it seems to be similar to "orange hawkweed".

Thanks Crankcase, it seems SWMBO was right. Looks like orange hawkweed to me.

There were several in the lawn at my last house. I thought they were so attractive that I mowed around them.
