Today we're venturing into the absolutely huge Sunflower Family (Asteraceae) with a small, fairly plain flower called low pussytoes (
Antennaria dimorpha).
Pussytoes are fairly common plants but easily overlooked because they grow so close to the ground. Low pussytoes is especially short, with the flowers barely rising above the gray-green leaves.
Apparently the genus name
Antennaria is due to the stamens appearing like insect antennae.
