Seen in August in Plaza Blanca, Abiquiu Spiny Goldenweed could be easily mistaken for Golden Aster with its bright yellow flowers and similar growth habit. A closer look at the leaves will show the difference. Leaves are deeply cut into narrow lobes each with a bristle at the tip. Soft hairs give a silvery appearance. It grows to two feet tall with stems branched and spreading from the base. Flowers are over one inch across and borne singly at the top of a stem. Like the Golden Aster it can be seen in bloom from spring through fall. The Navajo used it to cure headaches. 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.
