    Taken roadside, woodlands wetlands, Windham, NH. Is this Lady's Thumb?

    Answer

    Dear tracyd123, I can't tell you for certain that this species is Persicaria maculosa (lady's-thumb smartweed). To do that, I would need some details not visible in this photograph. It is certainly a species of Persicaria and could be the species you have suggested. Best wishes.
