Re: composite ID

Asteriscus maritimus.  I also like this plant for it's long bloom season and low water requirements.

Subject: composite ID

To All:  About 4 years ago, I planted a batch of small ground cover plants that were dubbed by the grower as "Gold Coin."  I have forgotten their Latin name, and since I haven't seen it since in any nurseries, I hoped someone might have the ID for me.  It has grown to dense mounds about 1ft. tall and 2ft. wide.  the leaves are small: 1/2 to 1" ,tongue-shaped, and covered with small white hairs, as are the stems and sepals.  They cover themselves right now and less densely throughout the summer with 1-1/4" open-faced, gold flowers.  Each of the numerous ray flowers has three tiny teeth at the end of the  1/2" petal.  They are evergreen, and receive occasional water during the growing season.  Thanks so much,
