Helianthus strumosis
Asteraceae
A wonderful little big sunflower that thrives in clay and harsh urban environments. The few specimens I have found were in shallow urban containers and their populations were absolutely exploding.
You know they say you never forget your first find, your first pressed plant, your first catalogged specimen. Well, here I am sitting on my laptop after a shower, too lazy to grab my field notebook, and I could not for the life of me remember which plant was my first.
Cool stuff ahead once I fill shit in
