| kinda interesting leaves--what is it? |
Image link: volunteered in my garden (59 k)
The foliage doesnt look like peonies to me though it very well could be. It does however remind me of sassafras tree seedlings of which the trees are often found in the wild. I live in the midwest and they are very prevalent here. They do have 3 different shaped leaves... one whole one, one with 2 lobes and one with 3 lobes. Maybe some blew into your gardens from nearby woods? See if the photo in the link looks good to you. I'm not good at doing these link things so if the link doesn't work then just copy and paste www.learnnc.org into your browser. |

| I agree with Gillespie...it could be a Sassafras seedling. Compare to the images at the link below. Rosie |

| Looks like Tree Peony foliage to me. I really don't think it's sassafrass, Sassafras leaves have more 'roundish' divisions than that, and from what I can see those look like compound leaves (although it's hard to tell in that photo.) Sassafras has simple leaves. No reason it couldn't have started from seed, things do turn up in odd places. WW |
