Common yarrow in bloom
Walking around the countryside road I could not notice large amounts of tiny white flower. There were fields of tall, slowly drying corn on both sides and the small space where the field was ending and path begin are filled with lush green grasses and bunch of tiny blooms.
Achillea millefolium
This common weed also known a yarrow can be found around Europe. It can also be found in garden in more pink colour as it is a very easy to grow perennial plant. The cultivated one n also be pink, which looks even better.

The single flower is very small just a few millimeters across. All gathered into larger clusters on top of the stem. The whole plant is many 50 cm in height.
Blooming starts around may and lasts until November. On sunnier days the pant are covered in insects feeding on the nectar.
Leaves resemble felled with tons of tiny needles and fresh, green colour. They stay closer to the ground and on the lower parts of the plant. Mixed with grass that grow around it looks like soft, thick blanket.
And here is a fun fact: they are edible and can be used in salads.
And when the flowers are done, they look as miserable as this:
Lastly a nice graphic from 1897:

Very beautiful photos!
Do you have a photo of it in bloom?
I would love to see!
The foliage of this plant always catches my eye before those beautiful flowers do. I have never gotten this close to the blossoms before - how lovely they are close up!
I've heard of yarrow, but I didn't have the opportunity to see it so close, you have photographed this wonderful flower, which looks like embroidery, and you have strengthened it with your explanation, thank you for sharing 🥰🌺

Excellent shots friend, you are very talented in the art of photography, thanks for sharing ❤️🌼
Does anybody know what yarrow tastes like? Hmmm
Even though it's just a weed, it can still be seen when it produces small bright white flowers, I think the soil there is very fertile, so the green plants grow naturally.
Beautiful photography I find that sometimes too
I did some reading about yarrow and apparently they have been breeding it here and have many colors of the rainbow available now!

I have often seen this around but never knew the name of it.
