Mystery Plant: Rockrose, Sunrose, Crocanthemum carolinianum

I remember a costume party once several years ago, it was Halloween, of course. There was a crazy guy there, very tall, with wild hair and a frizzy beard, both dyed bright yellow (how did he do that?), and then he was dressed in bright yellow clothing. On his bright golden jacket was a big name card, and on that, his name: “Ray.” As in “a drop of golden sun.” Ha. Ha.

I thought that this week’s Mystery Plant might work for that, too.
