Wildflower ID

I found a clump of yellow wildflowers growing in a rocky and arid location by the road a few years ago and collected some seeds. They germinated and reached 5 ft tall in the second year. Initial search said golden aster but I redid the identification some results suggested gumweed (Grindelia lanceolata).
Does anyone know what it is? Thanks.

May my friend! I hope some more worms have hatched! Some of the sticks have leaves growing pretty exciting!

Back to your question I found out on IPhone if you take a picture of a plant then go to that photo in your album there’s a symbol that looks like magic…
I’ll post a picture… that symbol searches online pictures against yours. It’s not always perfect but it works for lots of plants AND DOG BREEDS. So if you wonder what that mud’s breed is BOOM wonder no more AI and the internet have come to solve your wonder!

Curlycup Gumweed

Is what that fancy smart phone says it is. That’s in no way a discussion ending definitive answer but I hope it helps!

Hi May,
My plant identification app suggests it could be Cota tinctoria, (commonly called Golden Marguerite or Yellow chamomile)... which is in the aster family, but a little different than the one specifically called "golden aster". Just throwing it out there.

Thanks Dalton and Matt. Different ID apps sure can turn up different results. I use google lens however last year's picture said golden aster and this year is gumweed.  It's not a common wildflower around here. Many yellow flowers from the aster family do look similar so I hope some one who has seen this plant can recognize the details in the leaves and seedheads to help identifying.
