Townsendia

[ashley]

This came from the SRGC seedex last January as Townsendia jonesii.  Can anyone confirm, refine or correct the id please?

100% against it being Townsendia jonesii Ashley....will investigate the possibilities.

[mark smyth]

either way it's cute. I have lots of Townsendia seedlings in a trough that came up this year

[ashley]

Thanks Cliff & Mark but I made a mistake at this end unfortunately!  Is it Heterotheca jonesii (syn. Chrysopsis jonesii)?

[mark smyth]

Is it outside or in a pot?

[ashley]

Both - in the queue for planting!

Ashley,
Did you ever try the Gardenweb Forum 'Name That Plant'?

It seems to me they are able to identify nearly each plant, especially North American species.

Hmm, that looks useful. I may give it a go if I'm still stuck after seeing it again. Thanks, Gerd.

just be wary of the owner Spike. Nowhere close to this forum 'owner' Maggi

I think I am more accurately described as a forum "minder", Mark! I'm glad to hear that I have little in common with someone called Spike, though...

Gardenweb is now a Spike-free zone Mark.

[mark smyth]

really!? Did someone buy him out?

[rob krejzl]

Gardenweb changed hands a year or more ago.

Good idea, Gerd.  Thanks.

Are not all Townsendias either white or shades of purple?
