Descrição:

Common Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) flower buds prior to opening - in a field behind our house in Ontario County, NY on August 17. This aromatic mugwort is native to Eurasia, north Africa and Alaska. Elsewhere, it's a highly invasive alien weed. Numerous other species in the genus Artemisia are also called mugworts, but are also known as wormwoods. They all belong to the Asteraceae, or Composite family, in the Order Asterales.Photo: Canon XT + MP-E 65mm 1-5x macro + macro flash, exposure 1/200 sec., f/16, ISO 400 - Dave Spier - ref. # D078105 [resolution reduced for web & blog use] This photo along with photos of leaves [top and bottom surfaces] was submitted to iNaturalist.org as a permanent record.
