Re: ID please

 

My first thought is that this is lacustris. Some botanists have placed lacustris as a subspecies of cristata because they are very very similar. Generally lacustris is much smaller and confined to a small region around Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. But there are very small forms of cristata in limited locations in the Southern USA that would be very hard to tell from the classic lacustris. Good to hear from you Yuri, Sincerely Bob Pries
