I was hiking in Minnewaska State Park and came across this little beauty alongside the trail. It looks like some of its petals roll together to form a tube . . . and that tube has sprouted a goatee! The plant was growing near a stream under some conifers. Has anyone seen this wildflower before?
Has a couple of common names: Gaywings, Flowering wintergreen, or Fringed Polygala (Polygala is the genus).
I didn't know this flower to start, but felt confident I could figure it out. Not a lot of flowers with only 3 petals, and it is an unusual "orchid" like appearance. I haven't seen it before, but will be on the lookout for it from now on. Thanks for sharing!!!

The first one I know by the common name I learned in the Adirondacks "Wild lettuce". I feel very confident given its distinct traingular leaves. If the leaves weren't as angular I might have suggested the flower Colt's foot. But that would still have some flower stalk evidence visible if it were Colt's foot. I will try to locate more information to follow-up with.
The tall celery-like plant is a Meadow-rue. There are several different kinds. This is very likely to be Tall meadow-rue. I have also encountered Early meadow-rue in our region of New York.

Question from a Putnam County landowner: Is this tree of heaven?
Our Answer: This looks more like a sumac or mountain ash. Tree of heaven leaflets have smoother margins, while the leaflets in this photo are serrated.

Hi Forest Experts !!
Can anyone tell me what type of flower this is? I was hiking the other afternoon in the woods and came across many of these. The bloom early I guess!
Thanks.
