  • Question

    Taken roadside, wetlands woodlands, Windham, NH.

    Answer

    tracyd123, you have photographed either a species of Pseudognaphalium (rabbit-tabacco) or Anaphalis margeritacea (pearly everlasting). I would need to see additional images to be certain of what species you have photographed. The white involucral bracts around the yellow disk flowers suggests the latter, but that species usually has more hemispherical capitula (flower heads). Sometimes photographing one individual doesn't capture the necessary variation in the population to be certain of an identification. Best wishes.
