Question
Hi, Would you assist me in identifying this pretty wildflower plant? It is growing amongst many other coastal plants and was found at Woodneck Beach, Falmouth, MA on Cape Cod. It is adjacent to a saltwater marsh area adjacent to the beach. Thank you. Shannon
Answer
srferrando+, good afternoon. The plant you have photographed is Achillea millefolium (common yarrow), a native member of the aster family. It has the flat-topped array of white (or rarely pink) flower heads with finely divided leaves that are aromatic. Best wishes.
