REDSHANK


Redshank (  Persicaria maculosa formerly Polygonum persicaria)

Observation
I observed this plant on 17 September 2011 while attending the Wildlife Conservation Festival at the John Heinz National Refuge Center in Philadelphia, PA. The plant was found along the edge of the trail at the refuge. This particular stem of the plant seemed to reach out beyond the rest which made it very easy to notice.The flowers are pink and the tip of the green leaves are pointed. There were many other weed-like plants surrounding it.
