Description
Daisy Fleabnae, Erigeron annuus, This herbaceous plant is native to North and Central America and quite common in the Eastern United States. This small wildflower gets its a name from the resemblance of its flower to daisies and the myth that it can be used to repell fleas. While it will not repell fleas it is used as for digestive ailments and as a diuretic. The leaves are edible but due to their hairy nature, should be cooked like other greens before consumption. This photo was made along a forest access road in the Croatan National Forest outside of Havelock, North Carolina.
