They look a little like columbine leaves to me. But I’m not sure. Hmmmmm…… 😕

Columbine is the first thing I thought of, too. I’ve never seen pink ones before. Pretty!

I didn’t see anything that looked like it could be flower buds (for columbine), but I’ll keep an eye on that spot and report back!

I’ve never seen anything like it, but it looks like it’s growing in the middle of some poison ivy!
I had a heck of a time getting to your site today. I’ve been trying since a little after 4:00 this evening, when I got home from work. I kept getting “Internet Explorer cannot display this web page”. Lord, I was beginning to have CiTR withdrawal and was beginning to think something had happened to your site since I could still visit other sites!!! Whew, all better now….. :snoopy:

The leaves sorta look like cranesbill. I looked it up in my wild flower book but couldn’t find anything that had flat petals like that. Hopefully some expert here will identify it!

The look a lot like columbine leaves, but I don’t know why they are pink. Maybe they are that shade because they are past their blooming time (“fall” for columbines)??

My mom thought it may be mayapple. I guess it’s an herb of sorts. Google had all sorts of pictures and what-not.

Hi Suzanne, I just did a quick Google search and found this. Foliage: The foliage of the columbine provides year round interest even when the plant isn’t in bloom. The foliage rosettes turn a maroon color in the fall and remain attractive throughout the formant season.

Columbine, I have some too. Although the leaves do color after blooming, yours look as though the plants need more/less acidity (I can never get it straight). Anyway check out Aquilegia canadensis pix @ https://www.briartech.com/earlyspring/columbine/img2.htm
