Hello, thank you for the ID Sean, and also thank you to those who gave
their guesses. I wanted to wait before saying anything to get other
opinions, and it appears that you've gotten the ID correct (pictures
of Heterotheca grandiflora look exactly like what I see.)
I'm kind of strange about plants others would call weeds, I mean, I
even let Oxalis pes-caprae grow during winter. I rather like the look
of Heterotheca grandiflora, and I think they'd be pretty enough massed
together. They do add a spot of brightness among the dead grasses of
summer. I've also noticed that even though non-native here, they don't
seem to turn into bullies (I've never seen them out in the chaparral).
