People aren't a fan of eastern daisy fleabane on its own, but in a collection its a beautiful flower.

@Piranesia beautiful! Aesthetically it feels like an accent flower, but I'm sure it plays a critical ecological role

@derek So funny! I'm been meaning to post almost exactly the same thing. Fleabane "volunteered" in my butterfly garden this spring and I wasn't sure whether I should weed it out. Since it's native I gave it the benefit of the doubt - and I'm loving it. Weirdly, it's one of the few things in the garden that the critters have nibbled - so now I'm considering it a valuable decoy.
Picture of it growing in the midst of milkweed, foxglove beardtongue and goldenrod.
