The scene is adorned with the charming presence flowers, specifically Erigeron karvinskianus, adding a touch of whimsy to this idyllic June day at Podere Montecucco.

Tephroseris palustris, also known as Marsh fleawort or swamp ragwort, adds a touch of wild beauty to wetlands across the globe. Dittrichia viscosa stands tall as Woody fleabane while subtly mimicking false foliage nearby. Meanwhile, Erigeron philadelphicus proudly displays its Philadelphia fleabane title for all to admire. Horseweed takes center stage with Erigeron canadensis showcasing its resilience and versatility in various landscapes. And lastly but certainly not least is Daisy fleabane or sweet scabious (Erigeron heterophyllus) enchanting us with its delicate petals and gentle fragrance. From ancient botanical illustrations to present-day wonders found in nature's vast tapestry, Fleabane and its diverse species continue to captivate our hearts.
