| Singapore Daisy, Sphagneticola trilobata, Wedelia lobata |
Found this plant/flower growing wildly at the beach in Negros. I didn't know the name until recently when I saw it as a ground-cover at a riverbank park. The park caretaker told me it's called Singapore Daisy, and it is considered a weed. A South American native, it is now common in the tropical and sub-tropical areas. Singapore Daisy is deliberately planted as roadside and embankment stabilizer. It forms dense infestations along undisturbed edges of rainforests and coastal areas.

For a weed, it's pretty!
We have a Scotch Broom in our yard that is considered a weed in SW USA.
It is planted here too. I didn't know the name. Thanks for the info.
A lovely yellow little useful plant! It was new for me!

Cute little weed with a fun name :)
It's pretty, this Singapore Daisy, and if it's a hardy weed, I wonder why I haven't seen it before.

Thank you for participating in Floral Friday Fotos!
I have never liked the tern "Weed" I just see them as pesky plants in need of attention. This one just happens to be more lovely than some.
Lovely shot!
There are so many wonderful weeds in nature! Sometimes I bring some of them and plant them in my garden! And sometimes I've got great results!
Thanks for sharing. And thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment;o)
