These flowers belong to the daisy family, Asteraceae. They're just emerging now. When they're mature they just look like a yellow ball. I found it interesting that at this earlier stage you can see the physical properties of a daisy - it's visibly a compound flower made up of tiny little florets. Later on you won't really be able to tell what the structure of the flower is like.

I've been trying to get out once a week and see how the wildflowers are progressing. Local orchids (my favourite flowers) will hopefully start poking their heads out in the next few weeks. Something to look forward to!
