Looks a bit like some of the begonias too, but I don't think the toothed margin is quite correct.  By the look of it is probably has heavily indented veins on the leaf surface?

Cliff,

It may not look like it, but knowing your recent postings it is probably a Pulsatilla isn't it?  ;D  :P

I really don't know and would just be complete guessing, so I'll leave it to someone else.

Could it be Glaucidium palmatum (Japan) ?

I am VERY IMPRESSED Gunilla ... you had little to assist you.

It is actually Glaucidium palmatum leucanthum, but I can't be so pernickety ...

The next two clues were going to be as follows.

Well, it is one of my favourite plants  ;) Lovely pictures, Cliff.  Is Glaucidium palmatum leucanthum the same as I grow as Album?

Great puzzle,Cliff, with tantalizing clues....what a beautiful flower and leaf - I have never seen it before....

Gunilla, well done for guessing the puzzle and do tell us more, if you would like to, about why it became one of your favourite plants?  :)

It is listed as Glaucidium palmatum var. leucanthemum ... I can see no discernible difference from 'album' ... a beautiful woodland plant.
