Question
I just moved to Revere, MA this winter and finding some new plants as they break ground. If this helps, we live in Beachmont, MA, close to the salt water marsh and oceann. I would love help with identifying these plants. Thanks!
Answer
Dear salsamari, the small, violet flowers belong to Glechoma hederacea (Gill-over-the-ground), a member of the Lamiaceae (mint family). The non-flowering plants appear to be a species of Hylotelephium (orpine), a member of the Crassulaceae (stonecrop family). Without flowers, I would not be able to tell you which species it is with confidence. Best wishes.
