The windy weather yesterday shook the flower stem out of the apple tree, undamaged, so I can finally see the flowers!!
The closer you look at the flower, the more types of petal you can see!

It's a triffid!

Another unknown, tall yellow flower with jagged edge leaves. 
Does anyone recognise it please?

I recon it might be doronicum, usually mine is out in spring but there are one or two flowers out now. I'll have a look tomorrow after work.

I think its Silphium perfoliatum https://gobotany.nativeplanttrust.org/sp...rfoliatum/
Now that the flowers are open, I can search for it more easily. It does have cups where the leaves join the stems.

You're likely right V. Doronicums are not that tall.
