Heliomeris and Aldama

from Growing Native with Petey Mesquitey Hosted by Petey Mesquitey

I’m pretty sure when I first learned heartleaf goldeneye it was a Viguiera and the same with the showy annual called longleaf false goldeneye. But hey, some molecular botany in 2011 led to changes and a lot of Viguiera species were assigned to different genera. And soo, the annual and very showy longleaf false goldeneye became Heliomeris and heartleaf goldeneye, the star of this episode joined the Aldama gang. Now you know. The photos are mine of Aldama cordifolia, but the shot looking across a yellow flowery field of Heliomeris to distant yellow hills….well that’s Marian’s (Ms. Mesquitey). I love that…
