A member of the aster family - now that autumn is upon us it is blooming-up a storm. This native plant likes wet feet and this particular patch of it is densely-packed surrounding the rain garden (now dry) in our backyard. In the distance you can see the amber waves of acres and acres of turkey foot (big blue stem).About the sneezing part - I suffer from all manner of seasonal allergies - mostly molds and ragweed - yet sneezeweed doesn't bother me a lick. As a matter of fact I stumbled all around it taking photos of insects going after the nectar. Nevertheless, it's dried leaves were once used as snuff - which is how it earned its common name.
