  • Question

    I'm hoping there is enough detail in these pictures to identify which species of Goldenrod this is on the Grounds of Joppa Flats Education Center, Plum Island Turnpike, Newburyport, MA.

    Answer

    Dear chaffeemonell, unfortunately, there isn't the necessary details for me to help you. Some items I would need to know include (1) the presence/absence and kinds of hairs on the stem, (2) the growth habit (i.e., does if form colonies by rhizomes or is it clumped), and (3) some details of the leaves (such as vein patterns, etc.). Without these items, I won't be able to help with the goldenrod at this time of year. Best wishes.
