Question
Fount this plant on 9/9/17 at Joppa Flats Education Center in Newburyport. The small flowers reminded me of beggar-ticks, but then the plant form was quite different.
Answer
Dear chafeemonell, as best I can tell, this is a species of American-aster that is in bud. It looks much like Symphyotrichum lanceolatum (lance-leaved American-aster), a common species of wetlands, ditches, low fields, and such habitats. Best wishes.
