Question
This plant is growing at the edge of a woodland behind my house in Concord, MA. Can you tell me what it is?
Answer
Dear Marty, this looks like Geum fragarioides (Appalachian barren-strawberry), formerly known by the scientific name Waldsteinia fragarioides. This is a relatively rare plant in New England (native populations), though it is often planted as well. Best wishes.
