Re: Plant ID - Pamper or Pull?

There seems to be resistance to my ID. Thats Ok I have missd the mark many
times.

Well -- lets first rule out the "Winter Cress" Barbarea vulgaris, Two main
reasons to reject this plant is. 1) It does not have leaflets but has lobed
leaves.  Two very different morphological features
2) Most populations of Barbarea is glabrous or without hairs-when they do have
hairs they are very sparse.
 If you were to dig the plant up you would also see that it has a spreading
root system while the Geum has a more or less tap root and spreading rhizomes.
It is a true perennial that is spread by birds.
The reddish/dark stems and leaves fit well into the Geum ID too.

The real key is the leaflets on your photo-This is a distinctive feature of
many members of the ROSE family. Including Potentilla, Geum, Agrimonia,
Sanguisorba,
