Question
Hey folks, thanks for accepting me as a member first of all. My question is, one of my friends was going to discard a 10 inch wide planter that still had a live plant in it. She assumed it was dead. I've resuscitated it, and it's now grown to over 3-4 ft. tall, and looks as though it's about to blossom. I am curious as to what type of plant it is, as she can't recall. West Virginia.
Answer
Dear tke735, the plant you have photographed is Erechtites hieraciifolius (American burnweed). This is a native member of the Asteraceae (aster family) that is common in disturbed areas.
