I expect this would be called a weed. But the plant produced lots of wind-ready fruit, and it looked elegant, for a weed.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
Asteraceae is a botanical family belonging to the order Asterales, one of the members of the eudicotyledons. Also known as Compositae or composites, they are one of the families with the largest number of species among Angiosperms. Many species are used in cultivation due to their biological value, and some representatives of this family are absinthe (Artemisia absinthium), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), sunflower (Helianthus), chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum sp.), Daisy (Bellis perennials), among many others. They are found in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions, vegetating in the most diverse habitats.
Rudbeckia laciniata, commonly called cutleaf coneflower, is a species of flowering plant in the aster family (Asteraceae). It is native to North America, where it is widespread in both Canada and the United States. Its natural habitat is wet sites in flood plains, along stream banks, and in moist forests.
Osteospermum is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the Calenduleae, one of the smaller tribes of the sunflower/daisy family Asteraceae. They are known as the daisybushes or African daisies. It has been given several common names: African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. Osteospermum used to belong to the genus Dimorphotheca, but only the annual species remain in that genus; the perennials belong to Osteospermum. It has been given several common names: African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. There are about 50 species, native to Africa, 35 species in southern Africa, and the southwestern Arabian Peninsula. They are half-hardy perennials or sub-shrubs. 9541
Dahlia (UK is a genus of bushy, tuberous, herbaceous perennial plants native to Mexico and Central America. A member of the Compositae (also called Asteraceae) family of dicotyledonous plants, its garden relatives thus include the sunflower, daisy, chrysanthemum, and zinnia. There are 42 species of dahlia, with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants. Flower forms are variable, with one head per stem; these can be as small as 5 cm (2 in) diameter or up to 30 cm (1 ft) ("dinner plate"). This great variety results from dahlias being octoploids—that is, they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two. In addition, dahlias also contain many transposons—genetic pieces that move from place to place upon an allele—which contributes to their manifesting such great diversity. /from en.wikipedia.org/

As a member of the Asteraceae, the dahlia has a flower head that is actually a composite (hence the older name Compositae) with both central disc florets and surrounding ray florets. Each floret is a flower in its own right, but is often incorrectly described as a petal, particularly by horticulturists. The modern name Asteraceae refers to the appearance of a star with surrounding rays.
Этот вид георгинов отличается широкими лепестками, которые слегка закручены по краям и создают мягко сложенную форму. Равномерно расположенные лепестки образуют плоский цветок, слои которого хорошо показывают окраску растения. В каталогах растений они обозначены маркировкой WL. В старых книгах они включены в широкую категорию декоративных георгинов, но в 1980-х цветы получили собственную группу.
Gazania /ɡəˈzeɪniə/ is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.
The genus occurs from low-altitude sands to alpine meadows in South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Angola. Additionally, species are naturalised and declared weed in South Australia, New Zealand, the Mediterranean, and California.
They produce large, daisy-like composite flowerheads in brilliant shades of yellow and orange, over a long period in summer. They are often planted as drought-tolerant groundcover.
Gazania species are grown for the brilliant colour of their flowerheads which appear in the late spring and are often in bloom throughout the summer into autumn. They prefer a sunny position and are tolerant of dryness and poor soils.

Gazania linearis es una especie de planta herbácea perteneciente a la familia Asteraceae.Es originaria de Sudáfrica, pero se pueden encontrar en otras partes del mundo con clima similar donde se han naturalizado, como California en los Estados Unidos.
Esta especie forma una alfombra de hierbas perennifolias que crecen a partir de rizomas. Sus hojas tienen pecíolos alados y forma rosetas basales en el suelo alrededor del tallo. Las hojas tienen forma ovalada, color verde opaco con el envés lanoso. La planta produce flores solitarias en tonos de color amarillo brillante. Cada cabeza de flor puede tener hasta 18 centímetros de diámetro y tiene un centro de disco de color rojizo oscuro y una franja exterior con unas 20 lígulas largas. Las lígulas pueden tener manchas oscuras cerca de la base, hacia arriba sus bordes están rizados, y se cierran por la noche. El fruto es un pequeño aquenio cubierto de largos pelos con varias veces la longitud del cuerpo de la fruta.
Tanacetum vulgare (tansy) is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant of the aster family, native to temperate Europe and Asia. It has been introduced to other parts of the world including North America, and in some areas has become invasive.
Tansy is a flowering herbaceous plant with finely divided compound leaves and yellow, button-like flowers (from Wikipedia).
Erigeron annuus is a North American plant species in the daisy family. It is now naturalized in many other places.
Erigeron annuus is a herbaceous plant with alternate, simple leaves, and green, sparsely hairy stems, which can grow between 30 and 150 centimeters in height.
The flower heads are white with yellow centers, with the white to pale lavender rays (from Wikipedia).

Das Orangerote Habichtskraut ist in den Gebirgen Mitteleuropas, Südeuropas und Nordeuropas in Höhen von 1100 bis 3000 Meter heimisch. In den Allgäuer Alpen steigt die Art an den Seeköpfen gegen das Laufbacher Eck in Bayern bis zu 2000 Meter Meereshöhe auf. In anderen Gebieten Mitteleuropas sowie in Nordamerika und den südöstlichen Teil Australiens ist die Art verwildert.
Diese Pflanzenart bevorzugt leicht saure, nährstoffarme Magerrasen, Zwergstrauchheiden oder Weiden, ist kultiviert auch in Steingärten zu finden. /
The orange-red hawkweed is native to the mountains of Central Europe, Southern Europe and Northern Europe at altitudes of 1100 to 3000 metres. In the Allgäu Alps, the species climbs up to 2000 metres above sea level on the Seeköpfe towards the Laufbacher Eck in Bavaria. In other areas of Central Europe as well as in North America and the south-eastern part of Australia, the species has gone wild.
This plant species prefers slightly acidic, nutrient-poor nutrient-poor grasslands, dwarf shrub heaths or pastures, and can also be found cultivated in rock gardens.
