New York City wildflowers #5 Does anyone recognize this? It seems to be very common. Update, 26 June: Pamela Leo reports that it’s Pennsylvania smartweed.
Hi Caleb, It's Pennsylvania Smartweed (polygonium penylvancium). Some of your other wildflower finds are: Spiderwort (tradescantia ohiensis) Common or Daisy Fleabane (most likely erigeron annuus) and White Snakeroot (eupatrium rugosum) xo, Pamela P.S. Thank you so much for keeping a close eye on the goings on at the NYPL.
Is it a kind of pigweed, maybe? Looks amaranthish.
This is a beautiful photo. So graceful. Can't find it in my Texas wildflower books…sorry
