Oh my god - I had the same thing come up in my garden this year I presume
from the wild flower packet I threw around - I would love to know what it is
as well. It is definitely an everlasting but blasted if I could figure out
what kind!!

I'm expecting this one will be easy for folks, but it hasn't been for me.
This wildflower:

has been blooming all summer & still blooming now. It popped up in a
roadside sungarden as a volunteer, very tiny last year, a good-sized clump
this year. It's less than two feet tall. The clusters of blooms add up at
biggeset to the size of a fist.

I remember when I was a child this very flower grew around a stump with
yarrows on my great-gram's farm & the grandkids would pick them & gramma
taught us how to dry flowers using this thing. But I can't for the life of
me remember what she called them.

"Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.
"Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature.
