townsendia glabella

It's too bad that Townsendia glabella does not reseed in my garden. Usually those native daisies are too happy to reseed and become a bit pesky. I purchased two of these in 2015, and every year they produced this tuft of flowers in early spring. One of them died two years ago, after producing what appeared to be many, many seeds that blew about in the wind. Most native plants reseed prolifically in the gravel mulch (ahem...Penstemon linarioides, Scutellaria resinosa), but not one appeared as far as I can tell. That's a shame, because this little daisy is really a gem.
