Merryville LA 70653. Zone 8Q.Plant identification
I found this growing in the grass alongside our local Dollar General Store. The plant itself looks like grass and has a single stem coming up from the center with a starfish shaped bloom. Can anyone tell me what this is? It's very unique. I've never seen one.
