  • Question

    Please can you tell me what this plant is? It appeared in my flower garden in upstate NY this spring. Its leaves are a bit on the moist succulent-y side. I potted it and have put it in shade and sun, with more or less water, and it is determined to languish (die or die back?). Could it be a wetland plant? We do have a large wetland nearby. Or a forest understory plant? Thank you!

    Answer

    Dear kemcgrath, good afternoon. I've looked at your images for several days, but I do not recognize the plant at this stage. If you have one that grows a bit larger, please supply images so that I may help you. Best wishes.
