| inflorescence in early Fall--what do we call the modified leaf-like structures around these inflorescences? | inflorescence closeup--this is an example of a head (but very different from the heads in Asteraceae!). Also, notice the hot purple stamens that are exserted (hanging out of the flowers). |

 |
| habit in late Summer/early Fall--the plant in the middle is Solidago canadensis | new heads (purple) and old heads (brown or gray)--Eryngium leavenworthii can be locally common! |
