Thanks, flora_uk, I'll keep an eye on it and see if we can get it a little more healthy to get a better ID. It's definitely woody, though, which is why I included some of the stem in the photo. Those twigs were familiar to me as well, but I can't place them. Last week, we cut down the 8 ft. tall native privet trying to consume the back yard and I found a miniature rose bush under all those weeds, just begging for some sunshine!

Thanks June. I definitely see the resemblance to Celosia but for the bend and scalloping in the leaves. Truthfully, I've never seen a Celosia more than 2" tall or so, usually from multi-pack trays at the big box stores. I'd say this plant isn't quite as compact as my extremely limited experience with Celosia. I did repost this over on the Name That Plant Forum, and the two suggestions thus far are Acanthaceae or Amaranthaceae, neither of which are a perfect match. Here is a link that might be useful: Name That Plant Forum

thedecoguy, I did some searching on Petasites and it certainly looks like it matches what she described. I've never seen anything like it before. Thank you! I'll pass along the info and see what she says.

Or curcuma rainbow?
