Need help identifying a plant. [View all]

Looks a bit like a fern to my sister and me. Found in the woods (mostly hardwoods, cedars, pines) behind our house which is located in NW Georgia, foothills of the Appalachian Mtns.

Color is a dusty burgundy. Measures about 4-1/2" across and about 3-1/2" from top to bottom.

Thanks for any help anyone can give.
