Hieracium scouleri
I now have several clumps of Western hawkweed growing out there, but I killed my first one. It was early in my interest in native plants, and I bought a Western hawkweed plant from someone selling native plants at the Moscow (ID) Farmers' Market. It settled in right away and was doing great, when I read something about hawkweed being a terrible noxious weed, not to be grown under any circumstances. I immediately dug it up and into the compost it went. Oops, the terrible invasive weed wasn't my Western hawkweed, it was H. aurantiacum, the dreaded Orange hawkweed. ...sigh... oh well...
