Field Notes

Description:

At first glance these plants looked like an immature Scotch Broom which is an invasive specie and which we pull whenever we find them. But the flowers are more like a daisy or tansy, so I left it

I've seen the domestic Jt John's Wort as it grows all over here. And I didn't connect the two with the disparity in size. Now that you mention it, it's obvious! Thanks!
