    Anyone know what this is? I live in Virginia and found it in a meadow. The whole plant is very wooly, both the leaves and stems.

    Dime is included for size comparison.

    Thank you in advance!

    Yes, one of five possible Antennaria species native for Virginia. Closeup of both sides of basal leaves is needed to narrow down.
