Wildflowers from Upper Michigan

Common burdock
This is a large bushy plant with round, prickly pink to lavender flower bands. Flowers from July to October 

The prickly flower heads of this Eurasian weed easily catch on fur and clothing.  I remember having they stuck in the fur or one of my dogs.



Pearly Everlasting
This is a plant that has a white woolly steam bearing a flat cluster of white, globe-shaped, flower heads.  The pure white flowers of  this plant are used in dried flower arrangements.
