Description
This is a unique Meconopsis in having hundreds of yellow petals.
The leaves are all basal, with serrated edges.
Instead of a capsule it has clusters of fluffy stuff, so that the individual seeds blow in the wind.
It may have been confused with a dandelion.

Quite often the flowers have a pinkish tinge.
