Solidago gigantea is a North American plant species in the sunflower family.
Solidago gigantea is an herb up to 200 cm tall, sometimes spreading by means of underground rhizomes. They often grow in clumps, with no leaves as the base but numerous leaves on the stem. At the top, each stem produces a sizable array of many small flower heads, sometimes several hundred. Each head is yellow, containing both disc florets and ray florets (from Wikipedia).

I made a total of 64 photographs of this one flower from many different angles as the dappled sunlight flitted back and forth across the petals. Ultimately I was happy with photograph #61.

Arnica montana is a moderately toxic ethnobotanical European flowering plant in the sunflower family. It is noted for its large yellow flower head.
Arnica montana is widespread across most of Europe. Arnica montana grows in nutrient-poor siliceous meadows or clay soils. It mostly grows on alpine meadows and up to nearly 3,000 m. It is rare overall, but may be locally abundant. It is becoming rarer, particularly in the north of its distribution, largely due to increasingly intensive agriculture and commercial wild-crafting.
Historically, Arnica montana has been used as an herbal medicine for centuries (from Wikipedia).
SN/NC: Cosmos Sulphureus, Asteracee Family
Cosmos is native to scrub and meadowland in Mexico where most of the species occur, as well as the United States, as far north as the Olympic Pennsula in Washington, Central America, and to South America as far south as Paraguay. One species, C. bipinnatus, is naturalized across much of the eastern United States and eastern Canada. It is also widespread over the high eastern plains of South Africa, where it was introduced via contaminated horsefeed imported from Argentina during the Anglo-Boer War.
Chochopali, girasol amarillo, mirasol amarillo, San Miguel, sochipal, suchipate, cempual, sumpual (Martínez, 1979). En Nicaragua: cambray. En el Bajío es usan los nombres de aceitillo, flor de San Francisco, rosilla amarilla y fuera de ésta zona se llama chuchupal, flor de vida, y San Miguel.
Esta especie muy decorativa acompaña a muchos caminos en el trópico mexicano, especialmente en la cuenca del Río Balsas. También es una ornamental importante fuera del país, y en algunas regiones una especie invasiva.
O cosmos, também conhecida como cósmea, é uma planta que apresenta folhas finas muito divididas e caules bastante ramificados, o que lhe confere uma aparência delicada e incomum. Apesar disso, é uma planta resistente e dependendo das condições de cultivo e da variedade cultivada, pode chegar a ultrapassar os 2 m de altura, embora normalmente atinja de 30 cm a 1 m de altura. Seus capítulos florais, que têm de 5 a 10 cm de diâmetro, podem ter lígulas (“pétalas”) de cor rosa, vermelha, violeta, branca e tons intermediários. Apresentando um aspecto mais interessante quando plantado em grupos, o cosmos pode formar maciços no jardim, ou pode ser cultivado junto a muros e cercas. As cultivares anãs podem ser facilmente cultivadas em vasos e jardineiras.
