I encourage quite a lot of wildflowers in the garden. This is a favourite, even though some people think of it as a weed. Orange Hawk Weed, or Fox And Cubs, Hieracium brunneocroceum. It gives me no trouble and looks great at about a foot high. The other Hawkweed is the Yellow Hawkweed H.maculatum with spotted leaves, bit more of a pest but not out of the way.
The foliage has got some nice variegation too and flower is pretty darned fancy for a native. I do appreciate plants that come back reliably, though all the ones I have were originally planted by me. I've got a couple of stipa grasses that want more ground than I'll give them and some nice annuals too, including our native poppy - though I probably planted the first of them. When I have time it might be interesting to see if I can find photos of some of my generous regulars.
What is that in the last pic? Edible greens?
No its the foliage of the second flower, it has a motled staining on the leaves.
