Fleabane is a favorite of mine. I admire the adaptability of this plant (or weed as many would refer to it), which manages to grow in the most unwelcoming of places. The clusters of flowers are so cheerful and expressive. They always call to mind wild-haired children tumbling over each other with laughter.

Outside the youth center, between the liquor store
overflowing with blossomfoam,
dropping snow white petals to the ground in clouds,
so Nature’s wastefulness seems quietly obscene.
by Tony Hoagland an excerpt of “A Color of the Sky”
from What Narcissism Means to Me (2003)
