Question
I suspect this is Solidago of some kind, but I'm not sure which species. Any thoughts? Habitat was coastal woodland / salt marsh, somewhat disturbed (state park, picnic area). Exact location and date details at http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/373992. Unfortunately I didn't get any better pics of the leaves. Lots of pretty alianthus webworm moths, though!
Answer
Dear kueda, beautiful image. I'm sorry I can't provide you with any help, there are a great many composites with yellow ray flowers and even within the genus Solidago (goldendrods) there are a large number of species to sort through. Details of the leaves and vegetative stem are critical for identification within the genus Solidago. If you are able to get additional photos I would be able to help. Best wishes.
