Question
Greetings! This "sunflower" appeared in June/July, 2007, Southbridge, MA. Note that the stems are quite hairy, the leaves small, and the rays reflexed. Any ideas? Thanks, so much. --Carl
Answer
Dear carl.moxey, I can't identify your plant (yet). I'm hopeful you might be able to get some additional images for me. I need to see the flower heads (capitula) in side view and I need to know what is attached to the top of the ovary of the individual flowers that make up the flower head. Is it possible to get such images? Simply taking one of the flower heads apart and capturing a few images would help me immensely. You can post them here or email them to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org and I should be able to assist further. Best wishes.
