Showy Goldeneye
Heliomeris multiflora
Showy goldeneye is an airy western perennial that floats masses of small golden daisies on wiry stems through summer and fall, a drought-tolerant, long-blooming native for sunny meadows and slopes. The seed has reportedly been used as food, though no details on preparation survive.
