Question
I think this is Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata) found in Sanford Maine growing along the edge of a pond today. It does not appear in the database of Maine wildflowers. Could you help with ID? Thanks
Answer
Dear docj77, the plant in your photographs is indeed Verbena hastata (blue vervain). It is a relatively common species along shorelines and in some marsh habitats. It is documented from Maine. Best wishes.
