Question
This was a shrub-like plant, and the flowers depicted were about 6-8 feet off the ground. Could you ID this plant for me? Boothbay Harbor, Maine 43.862691, -69.637965 Also, feel free to use this image on your website if you think it useful.
Answer
Dear Kurt, you've photographed Reynoutria japonica (Japanese knotweed; synonym: Fallopia japonica). This is a non-native, highly invasive herb that (as its name suggests) originated in eastern Asia. Best wishes.
