    Hi! This is on the forest ground next to my driveway in Epping NH. It looks similar to elderberry snd the flower smells amazing. I feel like the leaves are slightly different though. Can you help?!

    Answer

    Dear MadeleineRae, good afternoon. It is hard for me to be certain from the photograph without additional images to provide a view from different angles. The image is consistent with Sambucus racemosa (red elderberry), but, again, I would need other images to be confident. If you an upload more I can try to confirm this hypothesis.
