Comments (7)considered by USDA as noxious in these states: Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts; in SW Michigan it does not seem to be a serious problem just as northeastwisc suggested. Although in Connecticut it is classified as: invasive and banned, e.g. illegal to move, sell, purchase, transplant, cultivate, or distribute. I just transplanted some specimens myself because they seem to attract interesting insects and butterflies in the wild; the plants even set seed and I got self-set seedlings at the end of the summer, so they do seem to be quite prolific....See MoreWildflower ID please, possibly greenthread?
Comments (15)I'm seeing image results for Indian Blanket or Indian Paintbrush. I've grown Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchella) off and on for years, so I know it's not that. Indian Paintbrush I haven't grown, but from the pictures I've seen, it's not that either. Well, here's a couple of additional links to further confuse identification: http://www.catnapin.com/WildFlowers/Flowers-Y/yoDaisyRound.htm http://www.sbs.utexas.edu/bio406d/images/pics/ast/thelesperma_filifolium.htm I'll have to do some more reading. It seems like it's easier to identify the plant by the super-thin leaves and its unbranching, single-stem-per-flower form than the actual flowers, especially since Coreopsis and Thelesperma look so similiar. I honestly never expected a simple wildflower to get so complicated! :D I'll take some more pictures and go from there....See MoreHAVE: Wildflower Mix [June 2016]
Comments (13)Heather Sanders, if you look at my profile page, there should be a button near the top right that says, "Message." Click on that. Let me know if that doesn't work, or if you can't find it....See MoreSylvia Wendel
