Dusty Miller (Artemisia stelleriana)
Leaves hairy, white, and velvety to the touch Leaf with many fingerlike lobes
You don’t need to see its flowers to identify Dusty Miller. Its heavy “wool” coat makes identification easy by feel alone. The flowers form dense clusters during July and August.
Seaside Goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens)

Everyone is familiar with Goldenrod, but few realize that there are more than a hundred species, some of them very specific as to where they live. The Seaside Goldenrod is the only common species found on beaches or in marshes with salty soil.
