  • Question

    By the Sonesta hotel in Cambridge

    Answer

    Dear whtien@gmail.com, the plant with white flowers is Symphyotrichum pilosum (awl American-aster) and the plant with pink flowers is a member of the Malva neglecta complex (common mallow). There are four species in this complex, and I would need fruits to help separate the species. Best wishes.
