  • Question

    So, this plant is a little sad looking because I had to move it. the root system (no picture) was very thick and traveled horizontally. Any idea. (Massachusetts)

    Answer

    Dear jsnay80, your plant looks like a species of Paeonia (peony) that is beginning to bud. It will be easier to confirm this identification after the plant flowers (feel free to post additional images or send images to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org). Best wishes.
