Howdy, Folks..
I found this plant volunteering in a potted cactus I have growing outside. I've done some Google image searches but can't find anything (yet) that resembles it. I'm sure it is another one of our many "weeds" that grow here but can't be sure.

The flower, as you can see, is only four petals, not multi-petaled as with tickseed and other wild coreopsis. The leaves are thin, long, lanceolate. What's really interesting to me is the flowers are borne in the axils along each branch, seeming to give it a long bloom time. Heck, I even like the seed pods.

Any ideas?
Thanks!
Shoe (befuddled)
