I am a girl from Hawaii (zone 11) who moved to Rhode Island (zone 6.5). I love plants and flowers, wildcrafting...tia for my rookie questions! 😆

PlantID Request, :) this is a small weed/ wildflower all over the place in Rhode Island...blackish central bloom, tiny little aggregate flowers spring off the central flower stalk. Super delicate and cute. Unable to id thru internet searches.

Thank you! It is fascinating how many medicinal and textile uses there are for this humble and dainty plant. Mind blown
