    Re: WildFlower ID

    I'm not sure how useful a WFID thread will be if no one can ID this one I know I can't help much with IDing flowers. I don't recall a flower expert being a regular here (hope I can be proven wrong on that one).

    Nice pic, BTW.

    i know alot of the ones around me, and have a book for east and a book for west US. some of them you need to see more than just the flower to ID, stems leaves etc.

    i can try to look for these later though.

    Re: WildFlower ID

    Your wildflower appears to be marsh felwort. Do you have another photo that shows the inner part of it? Also, if you could give an idea of the size it would be a big help.

    Re: WildFlower ID

    The vine makes a difference, it is likely a clematis. It's hard to pinpoint without seeing more of the flower structure. This one is really stumping me!

    Nice pics of it whatever it is.

    that brings up the point with plants... its hard to ID many because there are so many invasive plants. it says that is native to the Alps and other regions over there...

    Plant and flower ID can be a great challenge for sure. It took 2 days for this one lol
