  • Question

    11/25/2018 Found this growing on and around a stone wall and a number of them are scattered around this area. They have kept their rosette leaves even after several days of temps in the teens and twenties.

    Answer

    Dear David, this looks like Hieracium maculatum (spotted hawkweed), a non-native member of the composite family. It is known from northern New England (not sure where you photographed this), quite abundant in some locations in Maine. Best wishes.
