Photo by Clarence A. Rechenthin @ USDA-NRCS Plants Database

A beautiful perennial and a showy member of the Sunflower or Composite family (Asteraceae), the lanceleaf tickseed has yellow ray and disk florets.  This plant is easy to pick out at 65mph; it’s school-bus yellow and frequently dots the hillsides along many Oklahoma roads.
