Question
I’m sending a small donation to New England Wild Flower Society because I really appreciate your helping me identify plants growing on our property. Here’s one I’ve been watching since June. I’m hoping you can help me with this one, especially since I’ve more recently discovered smaller plants popping up on our dry, shady Long Island property. Many thanks for all your help.
Answer
Dear MossGal, I'm glad Go Botany has been useful to your study of plants. The pictured species is Epigaea repens (trailing-arbutus), a native, early spring flowering member of the heath family. It is one of the first species to flower, so look for it next spring.
