When I pulled up the ID tag I noticed it was not labeled correctly. The label was "Sunshine Yellow Dimorphotheca" with 3" blooms. My plant has bright yellow flowers that are .5 - .75 inches across. It also has fern like leaves and stems. Since I am growing it in containers the total plant size is about 6 inches high. It likes full sun, and does not like to dry out. Please help ID this plant.

The leaves don't look "thready" on this one either. Always something new to confuse us! http://www.bigdipperfarm.com/cgi-bin/searchstuf f.pl?Botanical=Coreopsis Quote \| Reply \| Report

My husband and I bought our first house in November so I have lots of things in my yard that need to be identified. I will be posting another one this week sometime. Thanks again!
