Mystery Yard Plant with Folding Leaves: Likely a Weed, Not a Houseplant

Plant with leaves folded

Plant with the leaves

The expert specializes in houseplants and suspects this volunteer yard plant (6 oblong leaflets per stem, folding at dusk, yellow flowers in August, SE Pennsylvania) is a weed or bird-dropped seed. Not recognizable as a common houseplant.

Recommendations:

  • Send photos of open leaves and flowers for a tentative ID.
  • Consult the local county extension office—Master Gardeners can identify it quickly, possibly with a site visit.
  • Check neighbors' yards for the same plant.
