Question
Can anyone tell me what plant this is ? I have never seen it in the past and it is rare for me to be unable to ID any plant species located in my region. It is in the mountains of Washington, New Hampshire at an elevation of about 1900 feet. The land was heavily logged about 15 years ago. Possibly a plant at a stage that I have never seen...
Answer
Dear fogeorge, this woody plant is Diervilla lonicera (bush-honeysuckle), a native plant that occasionally ascends to considerable elevation. It produces the interesting primarily yellow flowers that you observed in this image. Best wishes.
