Thanks With the help of Pl@ntNet and some googling it appears to be some sort of Scaevola sp. I have zero expertise in this though so take that with a big grain of salt. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for the pointer to Pl@ntNet - looks like a very useful resource. Scaevola sp. looked promising - its entry on Wikipedia: fan flower and/or half flower. Google "fan flower" gives image results that look like the pic I posted. Thank you so much! [posted using VPN] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Friedman Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 ID request. This was in a garden in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, on May 27, except that the flower picture is from June 1. So far I haven't gotten an answer at iNaturalist or Dave's Garden or from the software at Pl@ntNet, which amounts to three strikes. Does anyone here know? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the suggestion. Tried that link and got returned: So tried to find the group IDplease - no luck - used google for "join Flickr group IDplease" and got some very interesting results - there are two ID please groups. (No intention to fuel any feuds): ID Please - the original group | Flickr https://www.flickr.com/groups/id-please/ then there is the other: ID Please discussion topics - Flickr https://www.flickr.com/groups/id_please/ The first link for the "Original" is confusing, because it appears to show only 2 members - unless one reads carefully about joining the group.... Thanks for the resource, I intend to join too. Thank you.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not your problem - it's because that is a "private" group, and you are probably a group member, so have access to it, and its posts/photos. Whereas, although I am on Flickr, I am not yet a member of that (private) group so cannot get access yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know any of the ids.   The botanists say "DYC" for "damn yellow composite". I've heard even harsher words. There's no hope to identify most daisy-like flowers unless you get more shots--whole plant, leaves, and often a side view of the flowerhead showing the phyllaries, leaf-like structures around the base. Seeds can be helpful too. For experts, not for me.

Jerry Friedman Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Couldn't edit fast enough. That'll teach me to put all my flowers in one basket. Bog orchid, Platanthera sp. (maybe aquilonis) Elephant's Head (a lousewort), Pedicularis groenlandica American Bistort, Bistorta bistortoides Orange Sneezeweed, Helenium hoopesii Parrot's Beak (another lousewort), Pedicularis racemosa Landscaping idea, California Corn Lily or False Hellebore, Veratrum californicum, and Blue Spruce, Picea pungens Potentilla, Dasiphora fruticosa (two shots). The slope isn't quite as steep as it looks, but close.' Minuartia obtusiloba (white) and Tetraneuris acaulis var. caespitosa (yellow). Thanks to the good folks on the NM plants list for ID.
