  Hello there, I am not yet trying to share a picture but rather make one. I am trying to take a picture of poison hemlock for a school project I’m doing. I live in Cambridge Massachusetts. Any tips on how I could find a specimen in the vicinity?

  Answer

  Dear egraves75, good afternoon. The easiest way to take an image of Conium maculatum is to find someone who knows where it grows. You might contact folks at the Gray Herbarium, New England Botanical Club Herbarium, or University of Massachusetts-Amherst Herbarium and see if they can assist. All of those institutions are easily found online by a web search. I do know of a population in Midcoast Maine, but this may be too far for you to travel. Good luck.
