Question
This plant has self-sown on the southwest side of my house in South Berwick, Maine, on the edge of neighbor's driveway.
Answer
Dear Madeleine, good morning. You have photographed a species of Galium (bedstraw). While the phoograph does not provide me with the details I need to confidently identify the plant, it is consistent with Galium mollugo (whorled bedstraw) and its allies. This is a common species in New England, introduced from Europe, with white flowers.
