Dandelion,
Taraxacum Section Erythrosperma
from
Mill Hill
If
you remain unsure then cut it. The Dandelion
is
the only yellow member of the Asteraceae
with a hollow stem and it exudes a milky sap. Dandelions
secrete latex, not very much in the wild varieties.

Dandelion by Widewater Cyclepath
13
April 2010
The
first Speckled Wood Butterfly
of the year settled with its wings closed on a dead branch on the verges
of the Waterworks
Road, with frequent
Peacock Butterflies,
occasional
Comma Butterflies, a few languid flying Large
Whites and at least one yellow Brimstone
Butterfly.
The choice of nectar plant was
Dandelion,
common
and easily the most prevalent plant
on the verges at the southern end.

Hawkbit achenes don't have a long beak like that and so don't make a blowable 'clock'. That look just like a Dandelion to me. Pinch the stem!
