Mystery Plant

What is the best way to identify a "mystery plant"? I've looked at about a hundred plants online and can't find it.

Could post a picture in the "name that plant" forum or find a botanist in your area.

If you really want to learn plants, get yourself a good wildflower ID book (newcomb's is the best, imo, for the northeast). A good guide will have some sort of key that lets you ID plants. It is a pain to sit down and learn the keys, but once you get the hang of it, you'll learn plants a lot faster, and you should be able to ID almost any plant you find. Once you know a decent percentage of the plants around you, the others start to fall in line and soom you are an expert. Scanning online images is the hard way to do it
