Question
Hello, Wondering if this could be Spiraea alba? Found along the edge of a defunct road in a meadow area in Neutaconkanut Hill Conservancy. That area doesn't seem particularly moist, however. So perhaps it's something else? Thanks.
Answer
Dear sldz22, good morning to you. Spiraea alba is not an obligate wetland plant and can be found in mesic (moist) settings, such as fields and edges of clearings. While it is most often associated with wetlands and shorelines, it isn't found in those settings all the time. Best wishes.
