These Tall Tickseed Wildflowers Keep Asters Company

| No Comments
This year, this very common Missouri wildflower was one of the last flowers still blooming in my mid-Missouri garden.

Tall Tickseed - don't you wonder who names some of these plants - is a tall yellow wild relative of coreopsis, often found on Missouri roadsides and fields, one of the sure signs of Missouri fall.

One of their distinguishing characteristics are their serrated leaves.

Tall Tickseed wildflowers do look enticing blooming with purple asters wildflowers.
