    found along roadside near Walpole, NH July 2014, could this be sulfur cinquefoil? thanks in advance.

    Answer

    Dear eyeeasy, from the single picture you've provided, I am unable to answer to your question except to write it could be Potentilla recta (sulfur cinquefoil). The plant in the image has lost its petals, so without that character, I would need to see the leaves and examine the number of leaflets. If you have additional images that you can post, I will be able to help further. Best wishes.
