    It reminds me of Rununculus or Anemone of the same genus.* I think it's going to need a botanist for this one.* Did you purchase it or find it in the wild?

    Try asking the folks at the UBC Botanical Gardens.* The first link is their main forums page and the second is where you should post your pic and question.* Be sure to let them know where you live.

    I'd love to know what they say.

    When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

    Ah, do you remember which one you planted?* I'm thinking the deer nibble off the new growth but the root system still lives on.*

    I dug back through my gardening box of everything I have ever knowingly planted in this garden and it does not match the picture of the anemones which were planted. Also those were bulbs and when I transplanted one of these this summer there were only roots..........

    There are spring blooming and summer/fall blooming anemones.* Anything else you planted that blooms in late summer or early fall?

    That might take some time, LOL I have over 500 plants in my gardens!! Some I bought at the end of the season and were not marked! I love a challenge.......... some times they come back some times they don't and then sometimes they wait on me like this one and just decide to reappear!!

    I know what you mean.* I have over 500 plants too and often can't remember what I planted where.* When they bloom it's a nice surprise, but it makes it difficult to weed sometimes as I'm not sure what I'm pulling out.* :shock:*

    Wow, those folks there are fantastic! ** The funny thing is that the first plant I looked at was rose of sharon - Hibiscus syriacus, but the leaves were wrong.* I should have just searched with the botanical name of Hibiscus.* That will teach me.* hehe* :?*

    I'm so glad you got an id.* Now you know it's not a native either.

    Thanks so much for letting me know.
