Question
Unidentified plant photographed by an acquaintance in a wooded area in Moscow, Somerset County, Maine. I don't have any additional information. Do you have any suggestion as to what it might be?
Answer
Dear Don, the plant looks like Geum rivale (water avens), a native member of the rose family. It is usually associated with wetlands and shorelines. The nodding flowers are characteristic of this species.
