These tiny flowers are Fleabane (Erigeron). They are in the composite family, like Sunflowers, Daisies, and Asters. Flowers in the composite family all have center disk florets, and the edge or petals, which are the ray florets. Florets are actually individual flowers.
Most often snow white petals with a yellow center, though sometimes the petals are pink, or pinkish-purple.
There are a surprising 173 species of Fleabane native to North America.
I love to see the flowers along the roadside as I climb my mountain. Some of the plants growing to 3 feet tall. But those petite flowers, just the perfect size to put in a dollhouse.

Aren’t these sweet little flowers? They were the first flowers to show up this spring at my house.
Hi Diane!
I love all the sizes that flowers come in, but perhaps my favorite is small! I had a dollhouse when I was little and I still have it. My great-uncle built it. A replica of the house he and his family lived in, in Washington DC.
The weather has been absolutely exquisite here the past few days. I hope you are experiencing similar weather.
Thanks for reading my posts!
