| I posted this on "Name that plant!" and so far the only response I got suggested some type of helibore. Thought I'd ask the experts if this could be the case:
Thanks! |

| Since no one is responding I'll jump in. This forum goes strangly dormant sometime). It does look like a hellebore. One of the orientalis hybrids...but, I want to say it is not...and I am not 100% sure why. Is this a recent picture form this spring or last summer? Maybe someone of the more knowledgable folks will jump in. Michael |

| These pictures were taken yesterday and day before yesterday, when I first noticed this odd plant under my gardenia bush. I suspect it's just a weed, but I got curious and wanted an idnetification before I just dig it out. If it turns out to be a beneficial flowering plant I'll leave it to flourish... thanks for responding! |

| It's not a hellebore. |

| Ok Carol grows quite a few. So I think I would have to go with her. One last question, when did you notice it? Where you are hellebores would be up really early. |

| It looks like pacyysandra |
|
| It doesn't look like any of my hellebores. |
|
| Try this spelling: Pachysandra. |

| I don't know anything about hellebores but it doesn't look like a pachysandra to me... from my experience, the vine tends to run more in a line than "spread" like it appears in this picture. But I'm not an expert on pachysandra either! |
|
| I know this is an old post, but I think that plant is Goldenseal. It is a native plant that is harvested for its medicinal properties. |
|
| It is not goldenseal either, though I am a big goldenseal fan and grow a good bit of it in the garden. It's a nice hellebore relative and makes neat little colonies. Please compare photos below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hydrastis canadensis

| did you try Aegopodium podagraria - Zevenblad : Podagraire, herbe aux goutteux : Ground-elder : Giersch I googled for the pictures , so just guess johan |
