  • Question

    identify? Was a potted plant, put in ground, was short, had some flowers in spring. Once the flowers died off, I trimmed it and there it say until November, and it grew 2' tall and produced big yellow flowers. Nov. 11th and the bees are still interested. one photo is the flower, the other the leaves. Problem using these identifier sites it that the flower might look like 1 plant, but the leaves are different. My wife thinks it might be a Mum left over.

    Answer

    Dear sodaspop, yes, they do resemble some cultivars of mums (Chrysanthemum morifolium or a related species). These plants are highly variable as to the color of the flowers and outline of the leaves. Best wishes.
