Bless you, saltcedar! I have had this in my yard for years and could never figure out what it was!

Yea, sigh, many of the dogs are grazers. One of them chewed my Sterling Silver rose so many times, she caused the bush to revert to a rugosa. Last year it bloomed with small red flowers! I had to fence off my asparagus because the dogs kept digging them up and eating them. They all love fruits and vegetables, and some of them eat flowers, too. I used to allow my hedgehogs some garden time, under supervision so they wouldn't get lost. They'd wander through the strawberry bed taking one bite out of each strawberry they came across. They never ate a whole strawberry. They lost their garden privileges. The long-earred hedgies have really expressive faces. The old black Lab in the photo loved to supervise the hedgehogs for me. This one is peeved about my intrusion with the camera. Lorna

Hi I've found the downside lol They sprout in every conceivable place Most amazing in a 1/4 inch crack between the house and patio In fact they grow best there lol There is also a form that has black in the center as well as a paler yellow variety The one with the black eye is very striking though not nearly as hardy as the normal type naturally. lol gary

Thanks! Very helpful. I think the area where I saw it was planted with a "wildflower mix" at some point, as it has some plants other plants that don't look to be native.
