    This small pink flower was found amidst some low blueberry bushes in the woodlands of Putnam County, NY. Thank you for your help with id.

    Answer

    Dear Roxi, these appear to be discolored leaves of some species of Vaccinium (blueberry). I don't know what pathogen is causing the leaves to turn that color, but they are leaves that have been modified by some agent. Best wishes.
