From archive of 2007, the wild marigold from Busan, Korea

While captured in 2007 at Pusan National University, Busan, South Korea, I recognized its botanical family, as Asteraceae by its leaf structure and floral biology. It is some kind of marigold, but no one could confirm the name of flower then. 

The picture has been stored in my hard disk, and recently came to the surface while I was looking for some old photos of my elder kid. Now, with the help of Google Lens, ID of plant is confirmed. Its indeed a marigold!

Family: Asteraceae

Location of capture: Pusan National University, Busan, South Korea

Two mundane beauties from last spring

 

Common Name: Asiatic hawksbeard

বাংলা নাম: পিতাড়ু, ইয়াংগাফুল

Scientific Name: Youngia japonica (L.) DC

Family: Asteraceae

Flowering time: February and March
Location: Farm Road, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh

It's a roadside beauty, blooms mostly at Spring (February and March). Look at the skeleton like plant structure, where only a few leaves can be found, but yellow flowers are appeared like stars!

রাস্তার পাশের এই গাছে পাতা কম, কংকালের মত শরীরে তারার মত ফুটে আছে শুধু ফুল আর ফুল।

Common name: Mock strawberry, Indian strawberry, False strawberry

Scientific name: Potentilla indica

Family: Rosaceae

Location: Farm Road, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh


Often it is mistakenly identified as wild strawberry, but actually it is not. Wild strawberry have white flowers, while mock strawberry have yellow. Mock strawberries grow upwards while wild strawberries grow down. They may be difficult to spot among the leaves.
