Question
I believe this is a skullcap (Scutellaria). It was growing in Pennsylvania in a garden, so may be neither New England nor wild. Do you know the species?
Answer
Dear DavidBlair, skullcaps have a transverse ridge on the calyx (the sepals of a given flower taken collectively). This plant lacks the characteristic ridge of Scutellaria. I don't know this cultivated species, but I can share that it does not appear to be a skullcap. Best wishes.
