I’m actually not convinced that the Solidago above is really a Solidago (they’ve split some of the goldenrods out into other genera recently), but all of the alternatives I could find weren’t ever documented in Bennington County (or even a county over in either VT or MA), so it’s going to have to remain a mystery for now.
