I’m still researching this one John. Does it ever have a flower? Does the plant vine and climb too?
Thank you for helping me! I haven't seen it flower and I've never seen it climb as a vine. I'll try to get another picture of it. Google Lens said Ligularia fischeri.
Thank you. There is an invasive plant called Lesser Celandine.
Here is a link so you can see all about it. Your leaves look
similar. It would have bright yellow flowers in spring.
It spreads fast and chokes out other wildflowers. You will want to be diligent in pulling it. Throw away in refuse not in a compost.
Let me know more when you can. https://extension.umd.edu/resource/lesser-celandine/
