Topic: some sort of wildflower? [Solved] Wild Aster

[christy]

Looks like daisies to me. They are very pretty...

I have a bunch blooming now I call wild asters. Dont know if thats what they really are, but mine are short. About 1 - 2 ft.

They look like Shasta Daisies to me. Shastas do grow as if they're wild, cuz their roots take off & send flowers up all over the place... Sarah (Barleychown) & I are pulling them out of our flower beds all of the time, in order to keep them where we want them! They're pretty, but they tend to be quite invasive & choke other flowers out.  (They're very easy to share, cuz they transplant well, & they're also great as cut flowers!)

Christy, actually, they look a lot like my "Crazy" daisies which do get extremely tall, but it's really hard to see the foliage on yours so I really can't tell.

Oops, sorry, I was looking at Wrennies' picture. I don't think that's what you've got Christy.

I'm thinking it's some kind of Aster, Christy!  My Asters have leaves that are long and narrow.   

[christy]

opps thought i posted in here    yep i think they are wild asters too!     solved! lol now i cant remember were i seen em as tall as mine 
thanks! i woulda never even thought of asters,

[Wrennie]

flat topped white asters can get up to 7 feet tall.
These are wild daisies, very different leaf and not nearly that tall.

Well, I guess that's why I love Asters!  I always thought of them as Fall Daisies.   

Good sites, Jimmy!  Thanks for posting them.
