Shooting whatever catches my eye and with a lot of flowers starting to bloom I'll be busy.

Nice capture.
Not a dandelion though, I think it's a field sunflower of some type - an aster family plant. Though a small one unless that fly is a monster.

We call them Cape Dandelions here, just another weed.

Ah, they're called Cape Marigold here. Another invasive plant. It's in the sunflower family, so it's going to get pollinated and spread quickly.

It usually does due to the amount of seeds in those puffballs.
