Question
Hi Arthur: struggling with this one. Bangor, ME Penobscot Co. 8/31/19. irregular flower, 4 petals, bilateral symmetry, pinkish blue. Opposite leaves very long and narrow. Flowers on stalks in leaf axils. Dry trailside at Walden-Parke Preserve. Agalinis sp??? Thanks!
Answer
Dear Alanseamans, you have photographed Agalinis tenuifolia (slender-leaved agalinis), the only species in ME to produce long stalks that bear the flowers (all the other species have sessile or subsessile flowers). Best wishes.
