That's it! THANKS ltcollins1949! If anyone wants a copy of this, let me know; you can have for cost of postage/shipping and advice on how you want shipped. Obviously not a medicinal plant as I'd thought, from the research I've done, but used in certain food preparation plus attractive plant, period. Meantime, I'm going to take some of these to three little family-run Mexican food restaurants here and see if they'd like some. I am remembering that a garden helper a few years ago brought me some tamales, which she called "Guatamalan, not Mexican, tamales" and they were wrapped in a green leaf and steamed. Thank you for all your help, everyone. Ann

Something in the Apiaceae aka Carrot family is as far as I can take it. The stems are lengthening so you should see some flowers soon. Could even be the dreaded Aegopodium podagraria but it is hard to decide since most of the visible leaves are furled, wilted or at an angle. Is the leaf in your fingers an entire leaf or just the end leaflet from a pinnate leaf? And does it have any scent when bruised?

Orange flower is Impatiens capensis, spotted touch-me-not, white flowers are white snakeroot, Ageratina altissima (or Eupatorium rugosum in older books).

Those wide leaves that are similar colors on both surfaces suggest Gamochaeta pensylvanica.
