  • Question

    I noticed this plant in my yard in Orange Ma. At this time it is about 3 ‘ tall. Leaves look like a grape leaf about 4-5” wide. The bloom is about 3” across. I know for sure it is not Queen Ann’s lace. There are about 12 of these growing in the same area among some young oak saplings.

    Answer

    Dear Sugarmama, the photograph is a little out of focus, so I answer here is tentative. It could be Viburnum acerifolium (maple-leaved viburnum), a native species with white flowers and blue fruits. If you can upload an image of the leaves that is in good focus, I should be able to confirm this for you. Best wishes.
