A walk in the park, part 2


Philadelphia fleabane (I think), or maybe Daisy fleabane, not to be confused with the later-blooming aster.  Each flower is about the size of a dime.  One of them has an even smaller pollinator.

Quote:  "While the fleabanes (Erigeron spp.) are often dismissed as 'weeds' because of their ubiquitousness during the summer, they are actually rather attractive plants that are beneficial to many small insects that have important roles in the functioning of the ecological system."
