daisy fleabane, Erigeron strigosus
Daisy fleabane? Have we seen this before? Not quite. E. strigosus looks enough like E. annuus that they pretty much share the same common name. And if you look in other places you will see multple images of this plant from this photographer. Why keep doing it? A continuous effort to improve? Common fish in the barrel? Making sure, each time, that it's not something different? They're pretty? All of the above? This daisy fleabane grows in open areas in every state and province except AK, AZ, NM, NV, UT, LB, NT, NU, and YT. Monroe Co MI, 7/25/20. Asterfamily, Asteraceae.

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?
