Question
Could you tell me what kind of plant in the photo. I thought it had pretty leaves but now it is growing everywhere. Its root are big and tuberous and it didnt flower so I am beginning to dig it up. Woodland area, NH near lake.
Answer
Dear Kathleen, the plant in your photograph is a species of Lupinus (lupine), most likely Lupinus polyphyllos (blue lupine). This is a non-native species that can be aggressive in cleared habitats where it is free to spread (e.g., fields, roadsides, banks).
