Member # 2222 posted                       It looks a bit scrawny, but the leaves look similar to a mum and the flowers seem to be about the right size. bbbbbbbbb Terry May the force be with you Posts: 1370 | From: Copper Hill, Virginia | Registered: Apr 2004  |  Logged: 66.37.86.193 flowerchat Gardener Member # 9886 posted                       Is looks like a Wild Aster. They grow on the side of the Interstate in Mid-Tenn. Sweet little white daisy with yellow in the middle? BTW, how did you post a picture? I have a picture that I'd like to know the name of the flower. Thanks, Liz bbbbbbbbb Gardeners know the best dirt!

They do come in other colors... mine are pink & white. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 6255 | From: SW Oregon interior | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Logged: 207.200.116.139 lilylu Great Gardener Member # 9374 posted                       liz, you have to download your picture on image shack, then copy the code onto your message... didn't get around to taking another pic yet... bbbbbbbbb "Seeing life through Rose-colored glasses!"

I usually trim them down this time of year to about a foot tall. I don't let them bloom until the fall. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 757 | From: Ontario | Registered: Jun 2005  |  Logged: 165.154.18.165 Karrie Garden Pro! Member # 5636 posted                       Mum that bloomed wayy tooo early. Pinch it back for a bit maybe it will bloom again. Keep pinching it back it will get bushier. bbbbbbbbb It doesn't matter where you go in life... It's who you have beside you when you get there.

If so, it's not blooming too early, though, but right on time and is a great plant.

I think I will trim it down and see if it pops up again in the fall.....but first, I will see if I can find some information on singingsky's guess of a Feverfew..... thanks gals! bbbbbbbbb "Seeing life through Rose-colored glasses!" Posts: 39 | From: Lower Michigan | Registered: May 2006  |  Logged: 68.62.97.48 lilylu Great Gardener Member # 9374 posted                       After doing a little research, I've concluded that it is indeed a mum....but it sure does resemble the Feverfew too..but the flowers on the feverfew seem to look more like a daisy and these flowers are much more compact like a tiny mum.... The feverfew, is an herb I've learned.... bbbbbbbbb "Seeing life through Rose-colored glasses!" Posts: 39 | From: Lower Michigan | Registered: May 2006  |  Logged: 68.62.97.48 Karrie Garden Pro!
