Cutleaf Silverpuffs

Microseris laciniata is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name cutleaf silverpuffs. It is native to the western United States from Washington to northern California and Nevada, where it grows in forest and grassland habitat.
It's a bit of an oddball but a native plant that should get more consideration for landscape is Microseris laciniata, cutleaf silverpuffs.  It's a native dandelion but it has a really cool structure and the leaves are distinct.  The flower heads are cool with the way the hang till ready along with the speckling.  And for a dandelion it's one of the larger and prettier ones, with a strong honey smell.  Very drought tolerant and grows in poor soil.
Several plants in this triangle area.
