Probably off topic, but I need help: mystery plant

Jim,
This could be a potential ground cover to plant
over early spring ephemeral bulbs. Assuming those
small runners with non-compound leaves that are
heading out towards the brick sidewalk are part
of the same plant, then this plant looks like
some species of dimorphic Parthenocissus. The
leaf veining seems a little off but that could be
due to the atypically blunt leaflet tips.
Anyway, this is the answer I've convinced myself
of so I can stop thinking about it. Please let us
know when you find out the correct identification.

I've already circulated the images in question
on several lists, and so far no one has come up
with an answer. I don't think the plant in
question is a geophyte, but who knows? Please
take a look here:

think the plant is growing in a Virginia garden.
I have not seen it myself; these pictures are
all the information I have. If you have an
idea, please contact me privately at jamesamckenney@verizon.net
