Question
Hello, Could this be allegheny monkey-flower? I couldn't get a good shot of the inflorescence because of the sun. They are growing on a moist area of a cart road in Moshassuck Nature Preserve in Lincoln, RI. Cohabitants are royal fern, jack-in-the-pulpit, wild geranium, a gray-green sedge, and a tall-ish, lacy grass. (Any suggestions as to who the grass might be?) Thanks for all your kind help!
Answer
Dear sldz22, good morning. You do appear to have photographed Mimulus ringens (Allegheny monkey-flower). This is a relatively common wetland species. The grass appears to be a species of Glyceria (manna grass). Best wishes.
