Hello -- I'm an American staying in the Round Hill area this summer, and
I've been trying to identify the native and alien plants in the
neighborhood. Lots of aliens in the Annapolis Valley!

There's a road ditch in front of a vacant house on Hwy. 201 which harbors a
profuse growth of a plant which has flowers very like those of the Eastern
Bluebell, Mertensia virginica. It's a taller plant with rough-hairy
lanceolate leaves and I'm wondering if it might be Mertensia paniculata,
the Tall Bluebell. That species grows as far east as Quebec and could have
been brought to NS as a garden plant, perhaps.

Has anyone seen these?
