shrubby primrose-willow, Ludwigia suffruticosa
Do we need a paternity test for this one? Sure doesn't look a one of the Ludwigs. They have big yellow petals, don't they? And the flowers aren't in spikes. Actually by now someone has probably done the botanical equivalent of a paternity test, and determined that this does fit right in with Ludwigia. But it's still not all that shrubby, more subshrubby. Shrubby primrose-willow likes wetlands in AL, FL, GA, NC and SC. Wakulla Co FL, 7/8/18. Willowherb family, Onagraceae.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
