The petals glow a gorgeous yellow and the stem is an angular shape. Occasionally, the flower petals are not present at all. The leaves are a greenish brown color. The seeds in the middle of the plant are long and brown and to anything that brushes against them (clothes for example). The Nodding Bur-Marigold grows mainly in swamps, bogs, seeps, marshes, edges of rivers and ponds, and soggy meadows. It got its name because as it ages the flower starts to face downward. The Nodding Bur-Marigold (Bidens Cernua) is important to the Eagle Marsh because it provides color and life to the Sedge Meadow.
