Golden Ragwort can be found in large drifts in Bird Park, Mount Lebanon, where it may have been introduced as part of a habitat-restoration program. The bright golden flowers make a striking sight in the dappled sun of the open woods.

Like bright yellow asters, these cheery composite flowers come out in time for Mayday. These were blooming in the Kane Woods Nature Area in Scott Township. There is nothing else like them blooming in the spring around here, so they are easy to recognize.
