| This is growing in my flower bed-I'm such an airhead I can't remember if I planted it or not. I need to start keeping a journal of what I plant!
No thorns so not a berry, about 24" tall. If it has a flower it's not come out yet. It's not a vine, so not poison Ivy. long stalk, no side leaves. It grows pretty thickly.
I live in SE Pa.
Thanks for any help!

| Pretty hard to tell - maybe parsley family but you will have to explain its flower or post a picture of it no matter how small the flower is. |

| It could be Ground Elder. Very undesirable and difficult to eliminate. |

| I think hoobs is right, Aegopodium podagraria. |

| Hmmmm look a lot like Aegopodium podagraria! Get rid of it immediate! Variegated form is aggressive enough, green leaf form is virtually noxious. |

| You folks are right-It does look just like the pictures of ground elder.Oh my gosh-This stuff has really spread this year! And here I was thinking it might make a good ground cover. Reading what you have to do to get rid of it, I think I have my work cut out for me.Thanks so much-I have to get right out there and clean it out.

| DixieD, please submit your excellent photo to the Plantsdatabase page for Aegopodium podagraria. The photos currently there are somewhat different from yours. Good luck eliminating the bugger. |

| Ok-I have uploaded all three pictures to the plants database. The editors may select whichever one they deem the most helpful. I'm grateful to this forum-I might have gone on in blissful ignorance and had a plantation of the stuff! Fortunately, I'm a catagorizer and like to have labels for everything.
