Question
Dear Botanist, Mat I have your assistance in identifying the attached observation? Thank you so much for your help. My biology final is due in two weeks, and I am supposed to have observations ID’d by the naturalist community. Thank you in advance! Shannon
Answer
Dear srferrando+, you have photographed a species of Solidago (goldenrod). Given the early date, the architecture of the arrays and details of the leaves, it is most likely Solidago juncea (early goldendrod), a common species of roadsides, clearings, fields, and disturbed ground.
