Question
This photo was taken May 4, 2013 somewhere in the Monadnock Region of New Hampshire. The pink flowers each have four petals and bloom in a cluster. The leaf at the base of each flower stalk seems to clasp the stalk. The stem of the plant is hairy.
Answer
Dear DavidBlair, you have photographed Lunaria annua (honesty), a non-native member of the Brassicaceae. This plant is best known for its distinctive fruit, which you can observe using a web-based image search or check out images on Go Botany. Best wishes.
