Hi, I own a home that has been gardened or farmed for nearly 200 years. In the later 20th century, it suffered from serious yard neglect, and over time my husband and I have pushed back the overgrowth to find nice old plantings from a by-gone day.

Just this week we found a new one, which I've posted below. It reminds me of an anemone, but that leaf doesn't look like an anemone because it's not cut. It also reminds me of winter aconite, but they're yellow.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
daisygrrrl
