Question
I'm sorry this photo is not more in focus. I hope it gives you enough information to get a general ID. This yellow flower was growing in shallow water in a pond in Sharon, CT, in late September. Could it be Bidens laevis? Thanks
Answer
Dear JuliaB, I can make an educated guess based on the image. While blurry, it does appear to be Bidens cernua (nodding beggar-ticks), a native member of the composite family that usually occurs in wetlands and along shorelines. Best wishes.
