Question
Hello, Could you please help me ID a few plants found in our yard in Portsmouth NH? This first one I found near the edge of a wooded area in our yard. There is a large patch of these plants that have leaves that look like maple leaves. My first thought was Viburnum acerifolium. Any thoughts? Thank you.
Answer
Dear Maryanne, good morning. You have photographed a species of Ribes (currant, gooseberry). I can't tell you which one without close-up images of the leaves and (once they appear) images of the flowers. However, I hope that knowing the genus will be of assistance to you. You will note these have alternate leaves (if it were Viburnum acerifolium, it would have opposite leaves).
