Spotted these on my walk this morning. Learned this is Golden Ragwort (Packera Aurea).
A weedy perennial that's a member of the aster family and makes a beautiful golden groundcover.
"The ragworts, growing up so straight,
Are emperors who stand in state,
And march about, so proud and bold,
In crowns of fairy-story gold."
