I see the likeness, but it's not a Calendula and to help you I can tell you it's not in the Asteraceae - that removes 22,750 species from the possibilities... ;)

Not Ranunculaceae either, Cliff. How many of them are there?

No, on second thought,(especially as Google has something like 56,000 images for the cucumber family) I really don't  like cucumbers and so resign from attempts to solve this puzzle. Paddy

No, none of the Cucumbers, so you're safe and can carry on guessing. Here's the entire picture:

Something fernish?

Fiddlehead? Ostrich fern. Matteuccia struthiopteris?

None of the ferns, I'm afraid (the picture was taken this week in my garden).
