Fleabane

Description:

Tall herbaceous plant, about 75cm, producing flowers somewhat looking like daisy, but with finer white flowers at edges; and numerous on each stem.

Habitat:

This Asteraceae member is very common one in our region, and I observed it in a wide variety of habitats, from mountain grasslands to lower-altitude meadows and urban centers - it also successfully grows in holes in cement on parking lots. Most often it grows in places well exposed to sun. Here, observed growing on edges of deciduous, predominantly oak, (Bagasse forest) forest on France-Switzerland border, in a valley of lake Geneva, just in between Jura and Alps mountains ranges.
