    I guess this is where you post plant identification questions... This was found in New Hampshire. Would you please tell me what it is. Thank you so much!

    Answer

    Dear nhgardening, the picture resolution is such that I cannot see some necessary details. From the overall habit, it looks like Sambucus racemosa (red elderberry) that is beginning to flower. This species does flower early in the spring and will open to produce white flowers (even though those in bud have purple coloration). Best wishes.
