Hooker's fleabane

I imagined that this floppy yellow flower was named for a blonde,  blousy,  buxom beauty who serviced a local horticulturalist  in years gone by. Disappointingly, it was named to commemorate Sir Joseph Hooker who brought it back from the Himalayas in 1849. Sometimes I imagine too much.
