What's this please?

This planted itself by the garden gate last Autumn . I liked the leaf shape so I potted it up and it 's been in the cold frame over Winter. Looks too healthy - must be a weed!! Help please...

Sorry Jenny, could do with a closer picture please.

 

Chrysanthemum? Wouldn't expect that much leaf so early in the year, nor that it would have seeded itself ... so probably not!

Nice tiles though


Yeah, some close-ups please

 

Could it be an Astrantia. It's too early for them up here in Lancashire as we've not finished with winter yet, but seeing as you're in Sussex with a near Meditteranean climate, anythings possible.

 

Could really use a larger photo, but I'll chuck my hat in with an Aconitum or Delphinium.

 

I'm going with Mugwort.

 

Nobody told me about a dance!

 

Thanks so much the many confusing replies. It was by sheer fluke that I got anything from "my pictures" on my computer to this Identification thread. I will try with a better camera in the morning. I will smother myself in Factor 50 first though Juan 'cos, as you point out - it's almost tropical down here....
Are you all on whacky baccy?

 

No, that would make us really silly.

 

Looks like you've taken the photo from the bathroom window, but I would go along with mugwort too.

p.s. nice paving

 

Are the underside of the leaves silvery?

 

No ziggy, it's a soft,fine young looking green leaf that something's now found in the cold frame and is munching bits off! I will get a better piccie in the morning.

 

The patio is Spanish porcelain -arm and a leg job but, it's the most important "room" in the house-south facing and quite well protected. Roll on Spring and Summer
