Mystery Plant

This past weekend, Jack and I visited a friend who lives in Western Massachusetts.  Last year she moved to an old house, built in 1804.  She inherited gardens and is delighting in the surprises that inherited gardens bring.

She and I have both been avid gardeners for many years, but she has a plant that neither of us can identify.  Gardeners out there, any ideas?  Pink orchidish flowers and rather glossy pinnate leaves.

  1. I have no idea but I hope someone can answer your question. I would love to know the answer.

    1. If we can't identify it, I'll send the photos to a horticultural society and hope they can.

  2. No, it's a mystery to me but it is a lovely thing. I think the leaves look similar to Jacob's ladder/Polemonium

    1. It's appears to be a nice, sturdy, and attractive plant, bright mid-green leaves and pretty pink flowers.
