  • Question

    Hello there, This beautiful plant randomly grows in my friends' yard up in the Lakes Region of N.H. She gave me a plant to grow in Massachusetts. I am very excited... and looked through many plant books to find what this may be. I am hoping that you can simply ID it by the leaves. A cutworm took off one of the leaves. Thank You, SueLB

    Answer

    Dear SueLB, I don't know what species this is. It reminds me of seedlings of Anemone multifida that I have seen, but this is a regionally rare species (that is sometimes cultivated). I cannot be confident until the plants are larger. Sorry I can't assist.
