Tall Ohio Wildflower?
What's this, looks a little coneflower-ish and a little ironweed-ish.
Central Ohio, it's been out for a month, grows very tall sometimes (say 8 feet), found in sunny roadside waste areas. It takes the place of goldenrod until the goldenrod comes out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhhardin/3828502096/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhhardin/3827704593/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhhardin/3828501812/ -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

Oddly it's on a page of Newcomb's wildflower guide that I had examined, but the illustration he has is so unlike it that I didn't match it over the years. The question would come up each year. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

Oddly it's on a page of Newcomb's wildflower guide that I had examined, but the illustration he has is so unlike it that I didn't match it over the years. The question would come up each year. Yes, page 376 I would guess ;-) Never seen it around my area, but it looks a bit similar to Jerusalem Artichoke (which we do have). I didn't think it looked quite right for that though, so I had to look up JA again to see that it wasn't. As long as I had the book in my hand I just paged backward a bit till I got to the "alternate leaves" entries in same... I usually look in Newcomb's first, then Peterson's, then I punt to the more difficult books to use in my possession for ID purposes. It isn't a question of whether I have it in a book or not, but rather finding it. I'm not the best trying to use the more technical keys. -- Leon Fisk Grand Rapids MI/Zone 5b Remove no.spam for email |
