    Hi this plant is located along the Connecticut River Bank in North Haverill, New Hampshire. I can't seem to identify it by leaf or by seed pod or Fruit? I guess I could wait 'till spring to see how it blossoms but I am too curious to wait. Please let me know what this is, Thanks, T

    Dear tmrbrgn, good morning to you. You have photographed Lysimachia terrestris (swamp yellow-loosestrife), a native species with yellow flowers. You can see the brown bulbils this species produces in your photographs, which are a means of vegetative reproduction. Best wishes.
