Pussy toes is another wildflower that thrives in less than prime growing conditions, growing well in rocky, disturbed and run down areas. It is a member of the aster family. Some think the flower clusters resemble a cat's paw and that is the reason for the common name of "pussy
toes". A photo from Illinois Natural History Survey illustrates the resemblance better than mine. When the pussy toes' seeds are mature, they are carried away by the wind.Additional Resources:
