Earing for your call ...

Scientific name:Coreopsis auriculata
Mouse ear coreopsis, or mouse ear tickseed or Auricled tickseed is a perennial herb, but grown as an annual in Indian garden. The species name auriculate means eared, in reference to the ear like lobes at the base of many of the leaves. The flower stalks can be up to 15 cm long. The beautiful petals are golden yellow, elegantly toothed at the tip. This photo was taken on 19th December, 2011 in my sister's home in my native place.
