Question
Requesting ID help - there was quite a patch of these low-growing woody plants, most with the same fleshy pink leaves(?). Location: Schoodic Peninsula, Maine, across the road from the shore, wooded, sharing the roadside with Bunchberries and Three-Toothed Cinquefoil. Thanks!
Answer
Dear Cathk, you've photographed Vaccinium macrocarpon (large cranberry). The pink leaves you note are likely some kind of pathogen that has infected the leaves and caused them to be both misshapen and discolored. Best wishes.
