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.
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.
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. 25725
Taraxacum (/təˈræksəkʊm/) is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The scientific and hobby study of the genus is known as taraxacology. The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two most commonplace species worldwide, T. officinale (the common dandelion) and T. erythrospermum (the red-seeded dandelion), were introduced into North America from Europe and now propagate as wildflowers.[4] Both species are edible in their entirety.[5] The common name dandelion (/ˈdændɪlaɪ.ən/ DAN-di-ly-ən, from French dent-de-lion, meaning 'lion's tooth') is also given to specific members of the genus.
Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance, along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators.[6] Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.[7]
In general, the leaves are 50–250 millimetres (2–10 in) long or longer, simple, lobed, and form a basal rosette above the central taproot. The flower heads are yellow to orange coloured, and are open in the daytime, but closed at night. The heads are borne singly on a hollow stem (scape) that is usually leafless and rises 10–100 millimetres (3⁄8–3+7⁄8 in) or more[4] above the leaves. Stems and leaves exude a white, milky latex when broken. A rosette may produce several flowering stems at a time. The flower heads are 20–50 millimetres in diameter and consist entirely of ray florets. The flower heads mature into spherical seed heads sometimes called blowballs[8] or clocks (in both British and American English) containing many single-seeded fruits called achenes. Each achene is attached to a pappus of fine hair-like material which enables wind-aided dispersal over long distances.[citation needed]
The flower head is surrounded by bracts (sometimes mistakenly called sepals) in two series. The inner bracts are erect until the seeds mature, then flex downward to allow the seeds to disperse. The outer bracts are often reflexed downward, but remain appressed in plants of the sections Palustria and Spectabilia. Some species drop the "parachute" from the achenes; the hair-like parachutes are called pappus, and they are modified sepals. Between the pappus and the achene is a stalk called a beak, which elongates as the fruit matures. The beak breaks off from the achene quite easily, separating the seed from the parachute
Most of my photos are taken in and around the city of Molde, in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.
This one was taken is not far from the city limits.
Tussilago farfara, commonly known as coltsfoot, is a plant in the groundsel tribe in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to Europe and parts of western and central Asia. The name "tussilago" is derived from the Latin tussis, meaning cough, and ago, meaning to cast or to act on.

Another shot at the popular inhabitants of our meadows. It may not resemble the flowers we know in full bloom, but isn't it lovely? I like flowers.
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).
