daisy fleabane; annual fleabane
Refers specifically to Erigeron annuus, a common roadside weed with small white daisy-like flowers. Often confused with ハルジオン (Erigeron philadelphicus), which blooms earlier and has slightly different flower characteristics.
A lot of daisy fleabane is blooming by the roadside.
I was taught how to tell daisy fleabane and Philadelphia fleabane apart.
ハルジオン (Erigeron philadelphicus) blooms in spring, has a hollow stem, and its petals are slightly more thread-like. ヒメジョオン blooms later, has a solid stem, and is more common in summer.
Katakana spelling is standard for this plant name; usually written in kana.
Kanji form is rare; the plant is almost always written in kana.
Variant kanji form; very rare.
Formed from 姫, “small” or “delicate,” and 女菀, the name of an asteraceous plant. The spelling 姫女菀 reflects this formation.
