Related: About this forumNeed help identifying a plant.
Looks a bit like a fern to my sister and me. Found in the woods (mostly hardwoods, cedars, pines) behind our house which is located in NW Georgia, foothills of the Appalachian Mtns.
Color is a dusty burgundy. Measures about 4-1/2" across and about 3-1/2" from top to bottom.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

(115,870 posts)Not quite right for elderberry strain, if here I'd consider maybe something in wild carrot family. Interesting foliage, I hope someone figures it out.

entered the observed characteristics
opposite not alternating splits
smooth not serrated
2 lobed, not 3
fatter in the middle not the base
looks sort of waxy
I was thinking a baby tree of some sort but the foliage database didn't come up with anything
