Question
Hello, Yesterday, May 22, I saw many of these plants growing in the Maine woods in the Moosehead Lake area. The leaves are hairy. It was not in flower. It was in an area that has been used for many years as a fishing and sporting camp. Can you tell me what it is? Thanks, Marty
Answer
Dear Marty, you've photographed a plant called Hieracium maculatum (spotted hawkweed). It is a species native to Europe that is introduced to several New England states, including ME. Best wishes.
