'''''Baileya''''' (the '''desert marigolds''') is a genus of three species in the aster family [[Asteraceae]]. All are native to the [[southwestern United States]] and to [[Mexico]]. They are typically annual, though ''B. multiradiata'' may be perennial. The leaves, which may range from being entire to deeply lobed, mostly occur in a basal cluster. From this arises several flower stems, up to 18 inches (50 cm) in height, usually carrying a single yellow radiate flower each, although ''B. pauciradiata'' may have 2-3 flowers on a stem. Desert marigolds typically have their main bloom in the spring, extending through July. Summer thundershowers may enable a second bloom in October and even into November. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== seed ===Pests and diseases=== ''Baileya'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species including ''[[Schinia|Schinia miniana]]'' (which feeds exclusively on the genus) and ''[[Schinia|Schinia pallicincta]]'' (which feeds exclusively on ''B. pauciradiata''). ==Varieties== * ''[[Baileya multiradiata]]'' * ''[[Baileya pauciradiata]]'' * ''[[Baileya pleniradiata]]'' ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> <!--- xxxxx *Flora: The Gardener's Bible, by Sean Hogan.
