Reported in flower

Usually reported in flower early August to mid-October, middle week Sep 13–19.

From 335 records that show flowers. Not every photo of a plant in flower is marked as flowering, so this shows when people reported it in flower, not when it flowers.

Reported in fruit

No fruiting season shown here. Most records come from a single year, so a season is not shown yet.

What these results show

These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.

Identification
