  • Question

    Dear Botanist, this yellow flowered plant, about a foot high, is in a small meadow in the North Quabbin woodlands in MA not far from NH. Many thanks for identifying it for me.

    Answer

    Dear Tracy, the image is a bit out of focus, but it looks like a species of Oenothera, such as Oenothera perennis (little evening-primrose), a native species of herb. Best wishes.
