unknown white (Aster family)
unknown white 9/30/2006 southern NJ campground
Update 7/23/12 - Have been talking with some good folks at davesgarden this past week.
They confirmed it's in the Aster family. Which is kind of daunting, so I don't think
I'll find out anything new about this flower unless I go tracking down the leaves,
which is probably a wild goose chase too. :o)
So little time, so much to learn.
