This geoart is in honor of my mother, formerly known as the flower lady of Portville. The cache names are just some of the varieties she has in her gardens.  Read the description below to find the information needed to get the final coordinates of the cache.

Amp up the color in your flower borders with coreopsis. This amazing native plant, occasionally called tickseed, develops mass quantities of yellow, orange, rose, lavender, white, or bi-colored flowers through the early summer. Coreopsis is sun-loving, drought-tolerant and highly attractive to hungry butterflies. Most coreopsis varieties grow 18 to 24 inches tall, but dwarf forms that grow only 6-12 inches tall are also available. Use dwarf coreopsis in rock gardens or at the edge of path or walkway. Hardy from zones 4-9.
