Question
Hi again, I have another flower ID. I found these over July 4 weekend on the Massachusetts-New York border in foothills in a slightly shaded area that is likely dry a lot of the time. Can you ID them please?
Answer
Dear BrooklineBiker, this purple-flowered plant is a species of Centaurea (knapweed). To identify it, I would need to have images from the side of the flower so that I can see details of the involucral bracts. Sorry that I can't take this one any further than genus. Best wishes.
