  • Question

    This flower has appeared in my backyard near Boston (upland) next to a fence with our neighbor's yard that is unmown in the summer - lots of canada goldenrod there. I was not able to ID it using GoBotany. Individual flowers are quite small -- 1 cm at most. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Answer

    Dear cwoodsr, good morning. I would like to help you with your identification, but the images are not sufficient. In both cases, the plant is blurry while the background is in focus. Perhaps I could request that you try again to capture the plants in focus in a couple of days (the flowers are in bud, but will be open soon). Again, I really want to assist you. If you can get me a couple of images that are in focus, I would appreciate it. Best wishes.
