tickseed
Daisy-like prairie bloom
Tickseed is a common name for plants in the genus Coreopsis, native to the Americas and popular in gardens for their bright yellow, daisy-like flowers.
The name comes from the seeds' resemblance to ticks—small, flat, and sometimes with tiny hooks.
These hardy perennials bloom prolifically through summer and attract butterflies.
The tickseed along the roadside was in full bloom.
