Fleabane is in bloom —
The whole mystery and wonder of childhood is centered in this dainty flower — It is a fabulous plant —
It is easy to believe that the whole year exists for the flowering of this common and generally ignored (by conventional minded people) plant —
Look into the heart of a fleabane flower and you will be close to the secret of the mystery and wonder of Creation.
Charles E. Burchfield, June 16, 1962
