    Can you tell me what the white feathery flowering bush that is blooming now alongside the roads with the goldenrod? There seems to be much more this year.

      Google Baccharis halimifolia and see if that’s what you are seeing.

      Thank you. I googled it and it is similar though the white flowers are more like an astilbe than dandelion puff. Maybe that will come later?

      I can send you Esperanza seeds. It might be a little late for starting Esperanza this year but next year you can start it off early if this year’s bunch don’t take.

I look forward to comments. Spam is captured and fried.
