This weed appears each year in my garden. The scientific name is erigeron. It is from a large species of plants in the daisy family. The English name, fleabane, is shared with related plants in several other genera, including the aster.
It appears to be derived from a belief that the dried plants repelled fleas or that the plants were poisonous to fleas.
I let it grow as it looks like a mini daisy. Very cool. Sharing with today’s Macro Monday challenge.

We do not have a garden, but this flower resembles chamomile to me
Yes it is very similar. This one is tiny, the size of my finger actually, it is a macro, very close up photo of a weed,
A lot of people don’t like Mondays. So this challenge is making Mondays look really good. Yes, I think that is a daisy and all so cute too.
I would have to agree with you. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this super photo, there are so many daisies in my hometown now!!!
And thank you for your continued support and kindness!
Yes, I thought it is a daisy. Thank you for sharing such a lovely flower.
The macro makes it look a lot bigger than the actual size. Thank you!
based on the weeding skills of twins, we have more weeds than flowers today! 🙂
Yes but you still have the purple pansies. 🙂
well when you put it that way 😉
Gotta keep that glass half full.
My dad used to always say, if the glass is only half full I’ll take scotch!
Ha… smart man your Dad was!
Yes, I let some weeds grow, then they become a plant not a weed..
Some are not as invasive as others.
Right now there are plenty of weeds in my garden. They seem to grow faster than I can weed them oiut.
That is how weeds are it seems.
Although it’s a weed, it has a beautiful flower
Yes, many weeds are beautiful.
Nature is so amazing!
We also bloom this weed, dear Carol … we have so much everywhere I do not like it in the garden … it’s a nice flower
So you know about it too, we have it all over here.
Lovely flower of daisy family.
Thanks, it is a weed but a flower to me. 🙂
Have a great evening!
Is it the part 2 of sunflower ?
No, this is a tiny flower about the size of your finger. It is a macro photo. Nothing to do with a sunflower. It will not get any bigger.
Wow that’s really great , Thank you for kind information
You are very welcome!
