mystery daisy weed - almost solved - some kind of aster

[PunkinPeep]

I'm very interested. I must've missed the part about blooming in spring. I want to know exactly what it is, and i ruled out the prairie variety because of the leaves.

Ok...here's one that looks similar to yours.....I don't know if this species grows where you live though?

edit - well at least the flowers look kinda similar...but this has more flowers than yours. I would just google or look up white asters and look for a species that is found in your area that matches your plant.

I don't know either, but the one in the link is much much taller than mine. The tallest of mine barely surpasses a foot in height.

hmm...maybe a Panicled Aster (Aster simplex) ? Who knows....

Also, the size of the plant could be affected by amount of water/light received.

Oh dread! You're telling me i'm never going to know, aren't you?

I really don't think i can handle that.

Hey...all I'm sayin is that I'm getting an Aster vibe....


It's possible to know what it is....just depends on how hard you're willing to look.


Then again, maybe some Asteraceae expert will come along and tell us what it is...!

Maybe if i'm feeling better tomorrow, i will go outside and get down and dirty with daisies....but this going-to-bed-without-answers business is for the birds.

Out here we have an aster that grows in the desert, and since I could not find a name at the time I decided to call it Des-aster (Disaster). LOL

So when I drive by it now I yell out "Look at all this Disaster everywhere!" LOL

 

[cwhit590]

All right. It's official...Beth has a white DisAster!!!
