Yarrow depth of field
One of Yosemite's most common and heartiest wildflowers, in a Red Fir forest meadow at about 7,200 feet of elevation, off of Glacier Point Road.
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, which is grown in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. In New Mexico and southern Colorado, it is called plumajillo, or "little feather", for the shape of the leaves. In antiquity, yarrow was known as herbal militaris, for its use in staunching the flow of blood from wounds. Other common names for this species include gordaldo, nosebleed plant, old man's pepper, devil's nettle, sanguinary, milfoil, soldier's woundwort, thousand-leaf, and thousand-seal. (-Wikipedia)
Not to be confused with vaguely similar-looking species such as Cow Parsnip, Yampah, or Queen Anne's Lace.
