Fleabane

FLEABANE is the pretty aster-like flower featured in our blog header. This isn't something we intentionally planted (unless it was in one of the little wildflower packets we've collected over the years and tossed in when we were planting our mix from Prairie Frontier, or maybe it survived in some of the farm dirt we brought in to build up our hills.) At any rate, we sure do like it and hope more will come up next year. Right now there's one nice, tall clump to the left of Boulder Hill, and that's it. I don't know how Fleabane got its name, but I think I could come up with a much better name for this pretty little prairie flower.
