Newly emerging leaf on a Golden Groundsel (Ligularia dentata 'Desdemona')

This photo shows a newly emerging leaf on a Golden Groundsel (Ligularia dentata 'Desdemona'). I had spotted this near the Rose Garden, but couldn't figure out what it was. The leaves on this plant are about eight inches in diameter. I wound up going to the Plant Identification station the Gardens had set up and playing stump the expert. She had it pegged on her third try. Butchart Gardens. Victoria, BC.
