This is a common weed around here in the midwest/great lakes area. It grows to may 5 or 10 inches tall, seems to grow well in semi-shade areas. It has not yet flowered. Any ideas? Thank you.

I think it's safe to assume it's not poison ivy. I'm not exactly sure what it is. I thought Virginia waterleaf, too, but I'm not even sure of that. Some of those basal leaves look a lot like early white avens but the upper leaves don't. Be sure to take a photo if it blooms. That will tell us a lot.
