Common Flower Gems - Classification # 8 - Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron strigosus)


This one was actually trickier to identify than I originally thought. This lovely white and gold daisy flower can be found worldwide and is commonly known as Daisy fleabane because it was once thought to repel fleas, and not the ox-eye daisy, which is a much larger flower.

Despite all the tall grass, I spotted these partly hidden daisies without even trying
