Question
I found this pink beauty in a forest opening in Norway, Maine in early October. I would love your help in identifying it. Thank you so much!
Answer
Dear firstlight, your plant is Agalinis tenuifolia (slender-leaved agalinis), a hemiparasitic plant that belongs to the Orobanchaceae. This is an uncommon, late summer-flowering species that is found here and there throughout much of New England. Best wishes.
