Do You Know What This Plant Is?

I had been looking, and decided the trillium a friend gave me last year was not coming up.  Today, I saw this little plant, and was hoping this was the trillium, but after looking at photos online, and of the plant last year, I'm thinking this is not it after all, unless the next leaves are going to be different.  Do you know what this is?  (Added 3/13:  I figured out this is an aster, and I have not yet decided if it is going to get to stay here.  It is in the back of the bed, and there is room for it, unless the trillium comes up very close to it.)

The photos did not turn out so well.  I used the flash on this one.

Here's the plant shortly after I planted it last year.  I am so sad it doesn't appear to be coming back.

I have been doing some clean up in the flower beds, but it is slow going because I am experiencing a recurrence of something called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.  I had it over 13 years ago for a few weeks, and didn't know until it came back, that it sometimes does.  For me, when I bend forward, I get dizzy.  It affects others in different ways.  I have next week off, and the weather looks to be in the 60s and 70s.  I hope to get lots done.  If you drive by and see me stumble a bit, no, I am not drunk!  There are some blooms I haven't posted yet, but I am going to wait until the 15th to show them.

I plan on doing some blog visiting this week, too.  I hope you are having some hints of spring your way!
