Tahoka Daisy

Tahoka has its own flower the Tahoka Daisy. 

The Tahoka Daisy was originally named by Carl Sigismund Kunth in 1832 as the prairie aster and it often goes by both names. Kunth was a German botanist who categorized and named a diversity of plants. More specifically, the Tahoka Daisy is a hardy upright sprawling annual native to the midwestern United States. It is quite easy to recognize by the purple dense and compact leaves that are deeply divided into many narrow segments. 

The Tahoka Daisy is an aster-family wildflower with 2-inch lavender-blue flowers, a golden-yellow center, and green, fern-like foliage. They prefer sandy or gravelly soil in full sun with a blooming period from May to September.
