New weed in my garden

I don't remember seeing this weed in my garden before. Perhaps the exceptional weather has encouraged it.

The photo is a bit out of focus but if the leaves are grayish green it may be some form of aALeontopodium

Thanks Srameen That seems to be it alright. Any idea why I’m only seeing it this year? Is it problematic?

That same weed appeared for the first time in my garden this year as well. I only have a small bit and I like certain weeds but I'm reluctant to let it grow after my experience with Oxalis. I let that get a hold last year and now it's everywhere!
