Tidytips are a genus of flowering plants that are known for their vibrant yellow petals and white tips. They can also be referred to as Amauriopsis, which is the name for the genus they were previously grouped in. Other synonyms for tidytips include yellowdaisy, plains yellowdaisy, and prairie tidytips. In addition, the scientific name for tidytips is Layia platyglossa, which originates from the Greek word "layia" meaning forget-me-not, and "platyglossa" meaning broad-tongued. Tidytips can be found growing all over North America in open grasslands and prairies, and are a common sight in the spring and summer months.
