Mystery flower?
Reply Quote
I've been hunting tx wildflowers for a while, but can't find this in any of my reference books.  The flower head looks decidedly pincushion-y, but the leaves look more parsley-like.  Any Guess?  Found under the NB US 67 interchange of I-20 in south Dallas.

I have not found it yet in any of my books. I would guess it is some type of wild carrot, dill or parsley related plant.

It's a "Fine-Leaf Wolly-White" according to Ajilvsgi (p. 165).  I had trouble  b/c it was listed in the Yellow section.  Ajilvsgi states: "disk flowers yellow, rarely white,..."  Guess I got the rare white variety.
