Could you identify this flower?please????

Ok so i have this flower project where i need to key out and then press flowers for my Highschool. I found this one flower and it is about 1 and a half feet tall, it has red leaves that when you look lower down into the stalk there is green. it has tiny white flowers that you cant see hardly unless you look through a magnifying glass...I am not certain on the following info!:


i am pretty sure it has...:


5 petals


more than two sepals


PLEASE HELP!??????!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?


oh and i live in northern california and the flower was in my backyard among easter lillies and ferns and other various wildflowers and grasses. it is in mostly shade but it is out int he open...and...i picked it today so it is out in the spring and in april...
Could you identify this flower?please????
Could it possibly be an Epimedium? They have tiny flowers with bronze tipped foliage and flower now.





EDIT%26gt; Nope not an epimedium. Looks like a weed some sort. Anthriscus sylvestris possibly?
Reply:sorry, can't picture it, try google and look for the flower that look most like yours, good luck

Can you figure out the problem and re-post. I'd love to help as I'm in N. Cal. too.
Reply:At first it sounded like a type of spurge (poinsetta), but then you seem confused on the rest of the details. Check the flower and plant again, and write down the size of the tiny white flowers, how they are arranged (in a disk, like a sunflower? Or in "umbrels" like queen anne's lace? etc), how many petals/sepals (its ok to count them together) are on each tiny little flower, what the edge of the leaves look like, whether they are hairy, whether it is a monocot or dicot, and anything else you notice about the plant.


I couldn't tell you the name without at least a picture, but fortunately many universities have sites for botanical identification. You can try USDA Plants data base (google) but the ID process might be too technical, or you can try a database like the one below.





Good luck :)
