    Found this cute little thing near a freshwater marsh at San Elijo Lagoon in north coastal San Diego County. The flower heads are 1 cm. or less. Any ideas?

    Yep, that's the l'il bugger. I used CalFlora to check, and found out that it's an invasive non-native! So, cute as it is, next time I see any, I'll pull it up. Thankfully, it doesn't (or maybe, just hasn't yet) form massive colonies locally like it apparently does in places like Sonoma County.

    Thanx for ID, David
