Chrysopsis

/krɪˈsɑpsɪs/ noun

Definition

A genus of North American wildflowers in the daisy family, known for their bright yellow flowers.

Etymology

From Greek 'chrysos' (gold) and 'opsis' (appearance or view), literally meaning 'golden appearance.' Named by botanists for the flower's bright yellow color.

Kelly Says

Chrysopsis flowers are so reliably cheerful and yellow that gardeners call them 'golden asters'—they're practically tiny suns on stems that bloom all summer long!
