I spent the last week visiting my mother in my birth town (which I had not visit since December of 2020), and fortunatly I had the opportunity to walk in the surroundings taken photos.
The city where my mother was born is the most cold in our state, and during the Winter reaches low temperatures (sometimes negative), but in this period of the year (beginning of Winter) is common to see a some flowers like the Mexican Daisy, Ornamental Cherry trees (donated by Japan years ago), Hydrangeas between others.
Although be cold for our standards, I think that the average temperatures are similar to Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and this fact allow these plants to bloom as if it was Spring.
The "Margaridão" (Big Daisy) whose ID is Tithonia diversifolia is the plant originally from North America (Mexico), popularly known by the names: Red Sunflower, Mexican Daisy and Mexican Sunflower.
This plant is characterized by being a climbing species, with a small size that reaches an average height ranging from 1.20 to 1.80 m. The plant is very branched.
The inflorescences are very vibrant and bright, with a yellowish center. They are very similar to sunflowers and zinnias.
Flowering can vary according to the planting season, being generally abundant in autumn, but it can be grown at any time of the year (spring, summer, autumn and winter). The species is also characterized by attracting bees and butterflies, being a honey plant (it attracts animals with its nectar, honey). Bees and butterflies help in the pollination process by helping the plant to multiply.
The cultivation of the species in places with a good space is necessary due to the fact that the plant has invasive characteristics, and the available space helps the person not to lose control of the cultivated species.
The plant propagates easily, where the seeds that fall to the ground, form new seedlings close to the original plant.
