    Pretty and delicate, you captured the fleabane beautifully.

    "Is that a weed or a flower?" a gardening friend asked recently. "In my yard or yours?" was my answer.

    I like Fleabane! And the pollinators, do too. It's a bright little plant.

    Surprised there wasn't a fat little bee bottom sticking out of at least one of the flowers. Great photo, as usual!

    Like you quote about weeds. I always say that weeds are flowers just growing in the wrong place. Love them all! JC

    What a pretty little furry thing. My daughter reminds me of that sentiment all the time - she doesn’t see any distinction between blooms.
