Question
Hi, What is this flower seen on July 4 in a park in West Roxbury, MA? It was spotted in a large patch of similar plants on a sunny otherwise grassy hillside. Thanks!
Answer
Dear BrooklineBiker, thanks for the nice images. Unfortunately, this group of composites is very hard to discern without additional information. I would like to help you but will need a closer image of the involucral bracts (a side view of the flower where the bracts below the flowers can be seen clearly) and (if possible) an image of the flower head cut in half (so I can see the interior details). The first request is crucial for me to give a name with any degree of confidence.
