Definitely a weed! And invasive.

Definitely a wildflower, in spite of the name.

I think it is a white aster. My ID skills are nil.

    A few years ago I had to stop my garden helper from pulling up my yarrow. He thought it was tansy. I have now decided that common Rudbeckia is a ‘weed’ in my yard. It spreads everywhere and I am constantly pulling it out.

    Denise – I probably could have found a bit of roadside yarrow as well. It’s good you were able to educate your helper. We do want people to be able to pull up all the tansy they can. Worse than rudbeckia, but then any weed is just any plant in the wrong place.
