At one point I thought Mike might take a machine gun to the lawn, he was so frustrated with trying to get rid of them. I treated for grubs and that cut down on the mole population--getting rid of the free lunch.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-24386527598365444512013-09-29T19:14:13.174-04:002013-09-29T19:14:13.174-04:00It is dusty miller.

They look like a variety of black eyed susan. I think a lot of what is being passed off as "wildflowers" are anything but. The state highway departments spray "wildflowers" along the interstates. They are beautiful but I don't think they are wild.
