I am very grateful to everybody with ID help in previous posts, but looks, like I still have problems to identify my collection of aster family plants 1.Is this Coreopsis or Cosmos, or maybe none of these. If one of these, can you tell me why one and not another 2.In UBC Alpine garden, picture of June 3.Picture of July 4. VanDusen,April 5.In UBC Alpine garden, April
#1 - Coreopsis (something like C. grandiflora or C. lanceolata). Cosmos sulphureus is the only cosmos species one can confuse a Coreopsis with, but the former one has much longer disc corollas (and of course there are other morphological differences too). #2 - Helichrysum marginatum #4 - Erigeron compositus
