This is tricky one as it's a view from under the flower - I wondered if
it was a Buphthalmum, but the underneath looks different from the
photos I've seen.

I'm trying to identify this so I can write something about it for a
greeting card in a range we produce at work - but this one has me
stumped!

I'm hoping someone more knowledgable will have an idea;-)

The only other picture in our library that I can find of this plant
shows it to have long bare stems, if that helps.

Try the ordinary wild Dandelion

The Taraxacum officinale aggregate has a whorl of reflexed bracts, which
I don't see in the OP's photograph. The OP's photograph also seems to
have a single whorl of ray florets, which isn't right for Taraxacum as a
whole.

If I saw this in flower now I'd say Doronicum (leopardsbane) - Tussilago
(coltsfoot) has more ray florets. (I don't recall the nature of the
bracts in either genus, but Stace says that Doronicum has two whorls,
and Tussilago and Ligualaria one.)

It would help a little if we know when and where the photograph was
taken
