Question
This small plant is growing in my very moist moss area. We live on the shores of Lake Arrowhead in Limerick, Maine. I would be very grateful to get the ID verified or point me in the right direction, Thank you Debbie
Answer
Dear Debbie, good afternoon. You have photographed a species of Hypericum (St. John's-wort). Based on the leaves and the flower, it is most likely Hypericum canadense (lesser Canada St. John's-wort), a common, native species. Best wishes.
