Flower color[edit]

Are the flowers yellow, or yellow-gold or gold? the text says yellow but the picture looks golden? Hardyplants 04:34, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any significant difference?? The pic looks yellow to me! - MPF 11:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

probably not, since its not going to be a plant that many people see any way - there are Goldenrods with yellow flowers, most have yellow gold flowers and some with gold colored flowers. Hardyplants 17:34, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Description[edit]

There's two descriptions in the page, one compiled from USFWS and one from Flora N. Amer., with some discrepancies; the two should be merged to avoid repetition. Of the two, the Flora N. Amer. account is the more detailed and authoritative, so the better to follow where they conflict - MPF 11:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's also a huge difference in tone (how much technical language, etc). Personally, I would think that the less technical one might be a bit closer to what we want, although maybe it is a matter where we start with a summary and provide more details later.
