where are you???.. or.. where is it??

wild guess.... thalictrum???

ken

Sorry about that!! Location is Oklahoma.

Somewhat similar to Chaerophyllum, which does put out new growth in the fall.

I thought that it might be Anthriscus but the leaves are too round.

Cilantro?

edit: missed you already know it's not corinader, but sure resembles it.

I thought of chervil, but I agree with FM, closer to corydalis.

Thank you all!! After looking around at a bit more picture of Corydalis, I think that this is indeed it! Again, thanks!! You all are the best.

I'm yet to be convinced. Which Corydalis do you think it might be, Fata? Not C lutea for sure and C solida is not up yet. Not flexuosa imo, nor cheilanthifolia, nor ochroleuca. Maybe one of the wild Fumitories?

Does the foliage have any smell when crushed?

On balance I think I'm still on the side of the Apiaceae. But it's certainly a toughy.

On October 23, I posted a photo of what I believe is this same plant. I found it here in S.E. Michigan, near the edge of the forest at Heritage Park. It is growing in large colonies like Dicentra does. I still haven't settled on a positive ID.

I don't think that anybody has suggested the right ID yet. The closest match that I found to those leaves with opposite leaflets and rounded lobes were immature Aquilegia. Ellise, please mark the plants, and try to post updated photos to this post next season - we're all curious.

I believe it might be Corydalis Micrantha. I will have to mark it though and see what it does in the springtime.
