    Yep, commonly known a "Fox and cubs" and "Orange hawkweed".  Spreads by runners just under the surface and by seed.  Quite pretty but difficult to get rid once you have it.  It's one of the few native flowers which are orange.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thanks Bob, the lawn is very poor, best start again I think.
