Question
Can you help me identify the plant in the foreground of this photo? The picture was taken July 30 in Central Massachusetts.
Answer
Dear dfranke, the plant you photographed is a species of Bidens (beggar-ticks). I cannot tell you which one for sure without seeing flowers and fruits. However, it is likely Bidens frondosa (Devil's beggar-ticks) or Bidens vulgata (tall beggar-ticks), two common species with pinnately compound leaves. Best wishes.
