About a month ago I planted the starry rosinweed in our butterfly garden, a plant that had many buds. After an afternoon of Florida rain yesterday, two finally opened wide showing its yellow beauty. This wildflower grows in flatwoods, sandhills and disturbed areas with the flowerheads as large as 2 1/2 inches. Some interesting research stated that the rosinweed has been used for medicinal uses in North America and Europe, one of which was to clean their teeth by chewing on the stem. It’s also a great flower for butterflies and native bees.
