I have encountered this species with high frequency over the last week in west-central Michigan, and the fresh plants are all pale yellow. I have seen the red plants, too, and will have to look back to see if I can determine the days I encountered those plants.Bradford Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13088133626304196030noreply@blogger.com
