    This plant is at Riley's Lock on the C and O canal in Darnstown MD. Can you identify it? Greatly appreciated.

    Answer

    Dear Starwoman1967, I do not know for certain what species of plant you have photographed. Maryland is south of my area of expertise and their could be species of plants their I'm not familiar with. It looks close to Polymnia canadensis (white-flowered leaf-cup) with broader lobes than usual. However, I cannot be confident in this case without additional images of the plant.
