It is hard to imagine how such a pretty little flower has the word flea in its name. However, early North American settlers were convinced that little cloth bags of these dried flowers would keep fleas away. So, they called it Fleabane.
Now, before you start attaching bags of Fleabane to your pets, there is something you should know. There is no scientific evidence that it keeps the fleas away. Fleabane might actually attract bugs! There is a lot of Fleabane in bloom right now. The flowers can be white or a little pinkish. Look for something taller than a lawn daisy. Happy adventuring You are Always in my prayers. Love Mom & Dad
