Un-usually for a member of the Daisy Family, the petals are not squared and 'pinked' as if with pinking shears at the ends, although they do have 4 parallel veins splitting each petal (ray-floret) into 5 sections. |
Some similarities to : Leopard's-Banes, Corn Marigolds and Annual Sunflowers. Distinguishing Features : The disc florets (the central part of the flower) are quite long and conspicuously separate, sticking up like a mini-forest. They also turn dark-purple later in the year. The petals are a pale yellow.
