Elephantopus carolinianus Raeusch - Carolina Elephants Foot

A strange name, yes, that comes from a large rosette of leaves that hugs the ground. I've been trying to catch this little woods-loving flower "open" for three years and finally got lucky. Eric beat me to it though as he has them growing in his yard...

I hope you enjoyed the viewing... Have a great day!
