    Found this aster in a wet meadow. It comes up as Pacific Aster (Symphotrichum chilense). Is this possible in Wells, Maine?

    Answer

    Dear docj77, I can't see the leaves on this plant you have photographed (when possible, try to upload a few images of different parts of the plant). That written, the involcural bracts (that are below the ray flowers), the capitula and their arrangement suggest this is Eurybia radula (rough wood-aster). Best wishes.
