Cobblers pegs (Bidens pilosa) are a common wildflower with small yellow daisy-like flower heads that bloom throughout summer and autumn. The flowers have white petal-like rays around a central yellow disk and sit singly atop long slender green stems reaching 60cm high. The leaves are finely divided and fern-like, arranged oppositely along the square stems. Though considered a weed, cobblers pegs provide an important nectar source for pollinators. Their nodding yellow flower heads close at night and open with the sunrise.
