Solidago ptarmacoides Christian Geall Alicia & Adam Rice fromThe little Aster that is actually a Solidago or Goldenrod! Also known as the Upland White Aster. Although this little plant has been classified for many years as an Aster, taxonomists have determined that this species is actually a Goldenrod based on its flower structure.
