 Found in meadows, roadsides
Seen blooming in July in Abiquiu There are many species of white daisies that grow in our area from early spring through the summer. One of the common ones blooming now is the Whiplash Daisy which grows in colonies of plants that are from 4 to 10 inches tall. Basal leaves are narrow and bluish-green. This daisy is easy to identify from the runners (stolons) it produces which sometimes take root at the tip and expand the colony. The bright white flowers are about ½ inch across with a yellow center, many rays and a touch of pink below, as can be seen on the closed buds in the photo. Traditionally, the plant was used as a ceremonial medicine; to treat spider bites and snake bites; as an eyewash for livestock; and tied together in bunches to make brooms. Source.
