Found in moist, alkaline meadows Seen blooming in September near the Rio Chama Fiddleleaf Hawksbeard is a hairless plant growing to two feet tall with only one or two small leaves on the stem and mostly basal leaves forming a rosette. Basal leaves are less than one inch wide, only slightly toothed. The dandelion-like flowers are about one inch across with petals that have five small teeth at the tip. Traditionally, the leaves were eaten, a poultice of the whole plant was applied 'to open up a carbuncle or cancer' and an infusion of young plants drunk for homesickness and lonesomeness. Source.

AuthorI am Marilyn Phillips, a native of England, whose love of nature and the outdoors from childhood brought me by a circuitous route to Crested Butte, Colorado in 1993 and 16 years later to northern New Mexico. My exploration of the many trails in these areas, my interest in wildflowers and photography, and career in computer system design came together in this creation.
