Sunflower Family California Helianthella April-Sept Shady Grasslands |
Asteraceae Helianthella californica "Latin - diminutive of Helianthus, sunflower in Greek" "Of California" |
This beautiful sunflower is quite uncommon, I've only found one on the Frog Lake Road not far from the Little Fork. The flower is 2" wide and the plant a foot or so tall. Its narrow dark green leaves are unusual for sunflowers.
