The 
Rosinweed is a member of the Sunflower family (Asteraceae) and blooms from June through September. These were growing in the shade along the wood's edge in poor, dry, sandy soil near my home. They reach about 3-4 feet in height and their golden flowers are about 3 inches across having usually 16 petals.The name "rosin"weed comes from the sticky sap which is exuded by its stems and leaves. It is very showy and a great addition to any garden. Native Americans used this plant's rosin as a chewing gum and other medicinal purposes.

The leaves and stems are covered with coarse hairs making them rough to the touch. Butterflies seem to love these plants and they are great for your garden. Such beautiful things our LORD has created, enjoy them and thank HIM for his wonderful work!
The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
Psalm 118:14
