Wish my memory was better!i need another id please

i subscribe to candis magazine and one of their free gifts last year was a plant..well some root anyway, i planted it and forgot about it, now i have leaves and i really cant remember what it was..watching tv over the weekend im thinking it might be peony, does anyone have a positive id just from the leaves please?
thanks

Gut feeling was also Peony but I'm not sure

 

Doesn't look like Peony to me.
What about Laurel?

 

I think it looks like a peony. Same leaf arrangement.

 

I see where your coming from gcc but if you look closely you will see that those are not all single leaves but in fact some are joined.

Maybe a Tree Peony?

 

It looks similar to a peony but I am not convinced that it is.

 

This leaf is much more complex than Laurel.

On the 2nd pic highlighted in red, is a leaflet with 3 lobes.
This is just a small part of a larger leaf.
Further down the same stem are a pair of leaves opposite to each other... these too have 3 lobes.

This is all one compound leaflet.

I believe it is a Paeonia sp . Common name Peony.
However the leaves of Peony come in all shapes and sizes.
The nearest image I could find to yours is this.....
However, this is not a perfect match!

If Silver Surfer says it's a peony, it's a peony.

 

Thank you all very much for your input. I'm just waiting patiently now to see if it will flower this year
Much appreciated
