I was out taking some photos yesterday of wildflowers on my property from seed I had sown. Among the seeds was Coreopsis tinctoria - Plains coreopsis. Photos of bloom & leaves below:

Thumb of 2014-06-22/flaflwrgrl/9edeb4

I had to hold the stem/leaves to get a photo b/c the leaves are so fine & needle like. I am positive these are the leaves as the bloom was atop the stem.

Now today, I go into the db, where I know I had previously loaded photos of Coreopsis tinctoria - Plains coreopsis
Plains Coreopsis (Coreopsis tinctoria)

I notice that in some of the photos, particularly the ones showing the leaves, they are different looking. I recall taking those photos clearly & am positive those are the leaves belonging to the blooms. I also found other photos which demonstrate these same leaves that are not fine & needle like. Mine & the others:







So now I'm really confused. Which leaves are correct? I want to make it right in the db but need help figuring this out. I looked online & couldn't really come up with any clear photos or definitions of the leaves.

EDIT NOTE: Since I requested removal of the photos from the data base; that also means they are removed in this post as they in essence, no longer exist.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
