Can you help me indentify this flower? (extremely vauge description)
Hey! I was at a camp earlier this summer and there was a pretty cool
flower there. I'm going to give you the best verbal (textal?) description i can... It was in Forest Falls CA. thats at about 5,000 ft. elev. temp range from 70-85 F during the day. The flower itself looked like a large daisy with fewer but larger petals. It was white in color and had a diameter of about 4 in. My attention was grabbed most by this flowers sweet smell. I found a small patch of them growing out of a gravel dirt mix on the banks of a creek running along the base of San Gogornio mt. I know this seems like a pretty stupid question, but if there are any botanists living in Forest Falls CA, I just might get lucky. Thanks all! |

Hi, Daisies are in the sunflower family (Asteraceae) and there are many species in CA. Most Asteraceous flowers have no smell, so the clue that yours is aromatic leads me to think that it is probably from a different family. Try looking in the "Geum" genus. Geums are in the Rose family "Rosaceae" and there are many alpine species. Can you get a photo? It sounds like you're thinking what I was thinking--more than five or six petals. That could also suggest Caltha leptosepala or some kind of anemone. I don't know that any of those are fragrant, though. -- Jerry Friedman |

Both of you guys were right it seems... Heres the picture i found
http://www.nzplantpics.com/pics_pere...ultivar_02.jpg I'm pretty sure this is the one. I was searching through images of geums and this aemone hybrid caught my attention. Soo... follow up questions. can this flower survive as a wildflower in the region i mentioned? And finally, does this flower have a scientific or common name I could identify it by? I realize hybrids can be tricky in the field of nameing |

I realize hybrids can be tricky in the field of nameing I would say that it could be an escape from cultivation in that area. As far as scientific name, it is Anemone X Hybrida. The X indicates that it is known to be a hybrid. A few hybrids occur naturally, but this one is a cross between A. hupehensis var. japonica and A. vitifolia.
