    It looks like a tree seedling, but not sure what. Do you have any trees with similar leaves in the vicinity?

    I agree, looks like acer species, possibly field maple (acer campestre)?

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Not sure what it is...but it is definitely not Acer sp.
    Acer always have leaves opposite each other on a branch.
    Mystery plant has alternate leaves.

    I think it may have been a hibiscus syriacuse.  Our blue one in Belgium self seeded quite happily.  The pink and white ones never did.

    I agree @Obelixx. There's one in the middle of our hedge, looks a lot like that picture.
