  • Question

    Since you were so helpful before, I've got another one for you! This plant was found upland of a wetland area, adjacent to a parking lot in Lowell, Massachusetts. It's about 2.5'-3' tall. It looks most like the images of Climbing Dayflower to me, but that isn't found in our area. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks again!

    Answer

    jgoodwin, thank you for your email. The image is not clear, but the plants look like a colony of Commelina communis (Asiatic dayflower). If you have clearer images, I may be able to provide a more confident answer. Best wishes.
