Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is blooming now, in many places. Often growing to a height of about 3.5 feet. Each plant is unbranched until near the top where the flowers appear.

The blooms are in densely packed clusters that are either flat-topped or dome-shaped. Individual flowers have 3 to 8 ray florets and 10 to 40 disk florets.

Many different pollinators are attracted to the pollen and nectar of Yarrow flowers.

The leaves are feathery and alternate.

Soon to follow Yarrow’s flowering, a similar looking Queen Anne’s Lace (Daucus carota).
