3 Wild Plants to ID S.E. MI z5
8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago
Can anyone ID this purple flowering plant that I found at Ives Road Fen Preserve? The flower looks a lot like New York Ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis) but I'm not sure the rest of the plant does.
Also, the yellow flowers in the background in the second photo, any ideas what those are? Sorry the photos aren't better but the heavy wind made it difficult to get an unblurred picture. I think the leaves in photo 5 belong to the yellow flowers but I'm not 100% sure.
Finally, can anyone ID the plant with pods in photo 5?
