Foliage shots tend to help a lot with these also.<BR/><BR/>I would wager that your goldenrods are most likely Solidago juncea (Early Goldenrod), although canadensis and nemoralis are starting to flower. Many of the others are still in bud at this time of the year.<BR/><BR/>You are correct about the last one being an agrimony. It is Agrimonia parviflora Aiton a.k.a. Small-flowered Agrimony. It can usually be identified from the other species by having a greater number of leaflets per leaf than the other species in our area. The give away for it, however, is its huge, serrated stipules at the base of each leaf. <BR/><BR/>Great pictures! Keep them coming!<BR/><BR/>JasonTWOMOONSEMBERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07392333225671168055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-89738110116179653592008-08-22T03:10:00.000-04:002008-08-22T03:10:00.000-04:00I would say that from looking at my books, the fir...I would say that from looking at my books, the first goldenrod is Canada Goldenrod <I>Solidago canadensis</I> and the second, which has many common names (lance-leaved and grass-leaved) is flat-topped goldenrod <I>Solidago graminifolia</I>donaldthebirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01099741668535209996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-53607481051792034602008-08-19T22:39:00.000-04:002008-08-19T22:39:00.000-04:00Watch the evening primrose.

'Oh, how pretty' so I left it. This year I must have pulled 30 plants out of the same small area in spring, and when we got back from Maine there were at least 20 more. <BR/><BR/>I'm all for native plantings and wildflower conservation but ye gads! I hate to pull any plant out, but they're crowding out my daisies, cosmos, zinnias, coreopis, coneflowers and other carefully nurtured bee/hummingbird/butterfly flowers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-72591553914164932172008-08-19T21:30:00.000-04:002008-08-19T21:30:00.000-04:00No, Nina, it's not Moth Mullen.

Wingstem is new to me - Keith e-mailed me about that one, too. It was growing at Crooked Run.<BR/><BR/>The sunflower may be Woodland, but I'm still unsure about it. That flower is a bit of a cheat, since I photographed it up on Lake Erie at an OOS event last fall.<BR/><BR/>I think agrimony may be right; I'm still researching that one.<BR/><BR/>~Kathi, learnin' her DYFKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-32329472747602525562008-08-18T16:01:00.000-04:002008-08-18T16:01:00.000-04:00Ha!
