The Orange flower looks so like Pot Marigold X Calandula, but the colours of the buds are not what I'm used to seeing for these very common plants here in UK, so maybe it's another member of that family, and I've not yet seen those yet.
Good luck with your search and hope someone else can come into the forum to help better than I can.
Best regards and much lock. WeeNel.

Thank you for your message, it is a nice one. there was no others around so didn't want to pick it.

I'll look into what it is, and i do hope someone else can shine some light on it.

Thanks again

If you Really like the plant then keep an eye on it and as the flowers fade and start to look dried up, you can remove on of the dried up flowers and take it home to remove the seeds, best way you do that is to make sure the flower id really dry, have a sheet of white paper ready and rub the dried flower hear back / forward between thumb and finger gently, the seed should fall onto the paper to make it easier BUY some of these type flowers you need gently pull apart, the seeds can fall out like they are a white bit pf fluff and the seed stays attached to this fluff, in the wild, the seed floats through the air like a little parachute carried on the wind.
Plant your seeds early spring after storing in dry paper envelope with date, type of flowers ect.
Good luck. WeeNel.

Have a look at Hawkbit.
There are several plants, a couple of genus and lots of species that are related. Many are yellow, but that notched end of the petals made me think of it.

It's foxes-and-cubs, Pilosella aurantiaca (syn. Hieracium aurantiacum) - very invasive.

Reminder... there is a Plant ID forum - this is the best place to post plant identification questions.
