#3182 - Arctotheca calendula - Capeweed

AKA plain treasureflower, cape dandelion, or cape marigold.

Native to the Western Cape Province of South Africa, and a nightmare of a weed in California, Spain, Portugal, Italy, New Zealand, Chile, and, of course, Australia. A declared noxious weed in some of those places. It rapidly occupies any open or disturbed ground - in this case, the carpark at the Reynoldson Flora Reserve. At least the bee-flies seem to like it.

Daisy or Capeweed (Arctotheca calendula) is a plant in the sunflower family commonly known as capeweed, plain treasureflower, cape dandelion, or cape marigold because it originates from the Cape Province in South Africa. It is also found in neighboring KwaZulu-Natal. Around Gunnedah and probably the whole of the west there are patches of daisies. It’s a weed but it’s also pretty. It’s a good bee plant which the poor bees need with the Verona Mite scare. No need to propagate it. It’s a weed!

Turkey Tangle: Beautiful Ground Cover or Invasive Weed? tells the story of this pretty little plant as a native wildflower, ornamental ground cover, and invasive weed. Which do you think?

Turkey Tangle As I sat down to write this post tonight I had it in my mind to write about one of the many wildflowers that are blooming around here right now, but when I was looking through my photos I came across some of my earliest work, which were photos of turkey tangle (also known as frogfruit, fogfruit, and capeweed among other things). I had just gotten my macro lens, and I was busy…
