This common yellow coloured wildflower adds colour to fields and paddocks across most of Europe.

It’s a relatively tall plant that can grow to 2m in height. It has a nickname of Mares Fart due to the unpleasant smell from the leaves.

The leaves are poisonous however cattle and horses rarely eat them as they have a bitter taste. If the leaves are eaten in large quantities they can cause dangerous liver conditions and can be (but are rarely) fatal.
