These wildflowers are native to western North America, especially the desert southwest of the United States. They are quite variable in appearance. They are generally aster-like in appearance with many disc florets in each head. There may be only disc florets, but sometimes there are also enlarged ray florets along the edges of the corolla. They may be white to yellow or pink.[4]

gollark: No, I did, several times.> The data/body can be large, contain arbitrary bytes, and is actually meant to store large amounts of data.> - servers may allocate limited-sized buffers for incoming request headers so you can't put too much in them (this is somewhat problematic for cookies)> request bodies can probably be handled more performantly because of stuff like the length field on them> - request bodies are generated by forms and all sane clients so stuff is mostly designed to deal with those
gollark: I did say multiple times why that's not really a good idea.
gollark: You can put large amounts of data in the body. That's what it's for. File uploads and stuff go in it.

gollark: That too.
