My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Mystery Native Plant

14 years ago

Can anyone identify this plant? It appears to be an herbaceous annual. On May 18, 2012 it was abundant throughout Fort Ridgely State Park, in south-central Minnesota.

The plant is 18" to 30" in height, but has not yet reached maturity. The leaves are opposite with bluntly toothed margins. The stem is hairless and is covered with whitish, waxy bloom (glaucous). The area where it was photographed is moderately moist.

There are more photos and higher resolution photos at
