Question
These plants were seen in Midllesex County, along a brook. I do not want to share more in the case it is the endangered Wapato. Thanks for looking at it. Sending another along, I could not t seem to upload more than 1 image in the last message. It kept uploading the same photo.
Answer
Dear sheilac, you have found Persicaria arifolia (halberd-leaved tearthumb), a native plant of wetlands. If you examine it closely, you will notice that it has downward oriented prickles on it stem. Best wishes.
