Plains Coreopsis
Coreopsis tinctoria  
Tigeröga i februari och i juni

One solution for an S-weed without name is to put it on the page with something else, and leave it waiting in public, for the day when it can be labeled - I wrote yesterday. And as it turned out, the windowsill snapshot was what it took for Erik to be reminded of the Coreopsis (which I have seen in flower, in the same spot as the Tall Verbena - but with the showy flowers I paid too little attention to the leaves) - and for me to surf the Web for some pictures serving as confirmation (enough for me).
I wrote yesterday:
This is the fourth of the Potted Puzzles from the New Lawn - it was the one spotted first, and is the most numerous, but also most stubbornly refusing identification.

The outdoors picture is from October 20. Today, November 8th, as I am adding the story about the identification of the Coreopsis, we have had the first night frost: plants like this Southerner are among the first to go limp. |

In a pot on my windowsill it is growing tall and lanky,
even though I'm trying to discourage it by bothering it as often as I can. Apparently I don't make a very convincing imitation of the autumn winds.
