A specimen of mine bloomed for the first time, so inflorescence is not fully developed but flowers do reach anthesis. The specimen has the typical ligules of causiarum, but reading the monography of Scott Zona, I see a drawing of maritima flower, which looks very similar to the flowers of my plant. On the other hand there is no drawing available of causiarum's flower. So is there someone, who has observed carefully causiarum's and/or maritima's flowers and knows how each one looksl ike and which one resembles more the flowers of my plant?

First S. Zona's drawing
