Question
Hello, walking trail area near Farmington River in Farmington, CT. This caught my eye because of the deep red against the moss background. This was basically below water run-off and the area was mossy. This was the only clump I noticed along a two mile path with intermittent wet/dry sections. Thank you, L. White
Answer
Dear LesAnne+20, these are the early emerging shoots of Reynoutria (winged-knotweed). Included in this genus are species like Japanese winged-notweed. They are sometimes quite reddish on emergence. Best wishes.
