Hey guys, I have this plant, and when I first got it, it had a light pink flower about 3-4 inches in diameter with 5 skinny petals and a yellow 'fluffy' center. However, the plant decided, to die on me, so I moved it over to a corner and left it for a little while, and before I knew it, a new green shoot started to grow. Ever since then it has been growing like wildfire, and I have no idea why, what it is, or how to care for it! Please help :)

It looks kind of like a Clematis to me. If it is - do you keep this as a houseplant? That might be a reason for it to be unhappy, since Clematis are usually outdoor plants.

I'm with Ivynettle on this one. That looks like a baby clematis. I have three of them outside and they all look just like that one.

Keep the root ball cool and shaded but give the leaves loads of sun.

Outside I have it running up a full sun wall and I cover the base with a thick grown cover so the root ball doesn't get heated.

They are pretty easy to keep outside. I've never had one inside.
