  • Question

    Hello i would like to identify these plants i took photos of in Ontario near the escarpment. The last one is a maple tree i know but not sure what type

    Answer

    TaylorPlant, the first image with the pink flowers is Securigera varia (purple crown-vetch). The second plant is a species of Symphyotrichum (American-aster), but I would need additional images of the remaining portions of the plant to tell you which species. The third image appears to be Phragmites australis (common reed). The fourth image is a species of goldenrod with triple-nerved leaves, such as Solidago canadensis (Canada goldenrod). The last image looks most like Acer platanoides (Norway maple). Hopefully these determinations are helpful for you. Best wishes.
