daisy, Leucanthemum vulgare
Yesterday's rayless fleabane reminded some of daisies from their first childhoods. "She loves me, he loves me not" The childhood chant is almost as familiar as the flower. And the flower's pretty familiar, starting in Europe and now known to just about everyone. This image is one of my favorite examples of the spirals produced by Fibonacci's math. Often called ox-eye daisy, these grow in every state and province, on SPM, and are adventive around the globe. Lenawee Coi MI, 6/5/11.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
