    Good evening Dr. While walking through the local cemetery April 7th I encountered clusters of small white flowers. Physically the flowers appear similar to Pseudognaphalium ssp. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you in advance.

    Answer

    Dear califyank, this is a species of Antennaria (pussytoes), members of the Asteraceae. I can't tell you which species you have without additional images of the key features. But, it can be narrowed down to Antennaria howellii or A. neglecta. Best wishes.
