  • Question

    Hello, could you identify this for me? My first instinct was that it was a species of viburnum, but I think I am wrong. The leaves are opposite, entire, and slightly toothed. It was found along a roadside in southern Vermont.

    Answer

    Dear Gardenbed, your image appears to be of a species of Hydrangea (in the Hydrangeaceae). I could not tell you which species with confidence without additional images, but hopefully knowing the genus will get you started on your study of this plant. Best wishes.
