Question
Howdy. Is Lonactis linarifolia sticky to the touch? Been meeting this (or other?) species in various locations around freeport Maine. Here we are with blueberry & bluestem. At first I had thought Eurybia spectabalis, due to sticky stem, but it looks like that species is not in Maine. In either case, it's causing a lot of delight these days.
Answer
Dear limjucy@gmail.com, the plant you've photographed is Ionactis linariifolia. It is very frequent in dry, sterile soils, including thin soils over bedrock outcrops. Great pictures.
