Any thoughts about what this might be? In a part of my yard that gets little sunshine, this is dominant right now.

Comments (2)Flora, I looked at this post last night but was too tired to write. I too thought it was cultivated garlic. Unlike you, I rarely get any ID's correct, and since we agree, maybe you may want to reconsider your response? ;) On the other hand, if it is garlic, would you consider deleting your post so I can look good?

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoTHANK YOU ALL. Yes, the flower of Erigeron (I think this is Annual rather than Daisy Fleabane) looks very familiar to me and I think I've seen it in the yard before. I found a good photo of the leaf on the web and it looks just like what I have.
Interesting that it's a native species. Thanks very much.
