Posted on August 13, 2022August 14, 2022 by larksparrow08/13/2022 walking around A mystery yellow composite flower along the sidewalk. Update: Mom and Abby have identified as camphorweed, probably Heterotheca subaxillaris. Camphorweeds are native. Leaves and stem of the yellow flowered plant. This picture is from yesterday (08/12/2022) but there are lots of Grindelia getting ready to bloom near the railroad tracks. A few had opened up by today. I was also pleased to find 2-3 Scarlet Pea plants along the sidewalk near the Grindelia yesterday. They were still blooming today. Downstream from the OU duck pond there is a somewhat hidden bridge and there was a native hibiscus blooming near it. A few tiny annual coreopsis were in the field near the creek. Before it got mowed this spring there were a lot more and taller. It was too hot. We gave Briar and ourselves some ice cubes upon returning. She has taken to resting her chin on her ice cubes after getting a drink from her water bowl.
Wow, that’s an interesting yellow composite! Did you post to iNat? I’d like to know what it is. Loading... Reply
Interesting! It must have taken on a spreading form from being mowed. Kind of cool ground cover. Loading... Reply
It doesn’t have any seeds yet as of today but the scarlet Pea had just a few pods so far. Loading... Reply
Duck ponds and railroad tracks, interesting places! I like ice cubes too, but don’t usually lay my chin on them. It certainly was working for Briar. Yeah for her. Loading... Reply

No, but Mom and Abby have since identified it as camphorweed

Briar knows how to cool off i see. Smart puppy.
It’s important when you’re about 95% hair

She has ideas for sure
