A field of yellow sunshine, even though it’s called a weed!

Bitterweed | September 11 | Chassahowitzka WMA
Started blooming late August and into September. These wildflowers are thriving in open sandy areas.
Fun fact: The Plant Atlas has a sample of this flower picked by J. D. Ray Jr. on October 14, 1959 along U.S 41 what was then called Chinsegut Wildlife Refuge.
