Question
I'm thinking this is Canada Hawkweed. I saw a lot of it at the Seacoast Science Center in Rye, NH on September 15. Am I on the right track?
Answer
Dear chaffeemonell, the tall height of the capitulescence (i.e., array of flower heads) suggests this is Hieracium saboudum (Savoy hawkweed). This would be a new state record for NH (to my understanding). Any chance I can discuss with you getting a collection? If so, please email at ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org and I can help you further. Thank you.
