Profile: Safflower is an annual broadleaf plant in the aster family that produces rounded yellow or reddish-orange flower heads and rosettes of branched leaves, like a thistle.

Details: Safflower is a brilliant yellow to orange flowering herbaceous annual with a thick tap root. Carthamus tinctorius, which looks like a thistle, flourishes in desert areas.
