Typical of Rosenia humilis, the old flowerheads or capitula persist on the bush from the last flowering season (which was spring). The April photo shows the most recent orange-brown dry fruit among the leaves, not yet ready to disappear as their seeds are not yet released.
Also visible is a dark blotch, a relic of an even older capitulum from an earlier year, presumably the previous one (http://keys.lucidcentral.org).
