This small, native wildflower, from the Sunflower family, grows on dry prairie grasslands and eroded slopes mid-April to May. It is found in maybe only three places in the city. The flowerheads are about an inch across. White or sometimes pinkish. Always a thrill to see these flowers - in fact, I found several at a location in one of the parks this afternoon.
