Recently I was on a walk with friends and we came upon a plant somewhat unique to the Connecticut river valley. It's also found in coastal regions in eastern MA too. Square Pod Water Primrose, aka Seedbox is a plant that favors rivers, lake shores, marshes and wet fields. We found it in the old Pine Grove golf club on a slope near a small pond. It's easy to spot in winter because of the distinctive square seed pods that look like little boxes on each branch end. I guess this refutes the old claim that you'll never observe right-angles in nature! It's also a lovely little wildflower in summer. We found it at the red dot located on the map image below.
