As I mentioned in the note, it is a wildflower that I shot along Texas Highway 290 between Houston and Austin. I am not good at all on name and family of flowers.
At your asking, I’ve tried to search and here is what I found, not exactly but close to the flower I took:
This is a Tickseed/lance-leaved Coreopsis [reopsis lanceolata — teraceae], an eject, drought tolerant perennial which can also withstand prolonged periods of moisture. Native to the United States, east of the Rocky Mountains, it is now found throughout North America. Flowers are bright yellow affixed to a single, elongated stem. Will grow in partial shade to full sun in various soil types. Normally takes two years to become established. This is probably the one coreopsis that is really worth growing. It has a profusion of yellow flowers for a long time in summer on upright stems with thin foliage. It spreads to form large colonies, but is easy to control by division.
How to Grow: Plant coreopsis in average to rich, moist soil in full sun. Rosea coreopsis will tolerate partial shade and requires constant moisture and cool temperatures for best performance. Soil that is too rich will cause most tickseeds to flop over. Deadheading can encourage re-blooming and help prevent common coreopsis from self seeding and taking over your neighborhood.
For additional info, please refer to Wikipedia or this wildflowers site . Thanks again for your critique. |
