Question
Good afternoon Dr. I came across a flower that at first suggests Solidago, but upon further investigation I saw an image of a yellow aster. I would appreciate your help. This amazing plant is growing in a crack in the street. Thank you in advance. The plant resides in Malden MA.
Answer
Dear califyank, you have photographed Solidago sempervirens (seaside goldenrod). This species is occasionally encountered inland where salting occurs for de-icing roads, parking lots, etc. Best wishes.
