Your photos are lovely. I am not good at identifying plants, I am much better with animals.
ReplyDeleteYes,This plant is the American burnet (Erechtites hieraciifolius). There are many species that look alike. The American Burnweed is a native plant in the Daisy (Asteraceae) family. It grows well in disturbed habitats.
ReplyDeleteBuenos días, una planta con personalidad.

A similar plant grows wild here, and its flower is also very similar. When it dries out and a little wind blows, the flowers are blown away, forming what we call "volanicos."
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Not sure if I could identify the plant...many plants look quite similar.
