at the back of my new(ish) garden there are some plants growing that look interesting but i dont know if they are weeds or not! I cant take pics yet as recently broke my camera but i thought i'd try and describe them. They are groing in quite rough, shady ground and have a stem and leaves a little bit like a foxglove (not the shape, just the habit) the flowers, again group at the top like the foxglove but they look like teeny weeny bunny rabbits (cant spell proper name but hope you know what i mean!). The flowers are pinky mauve. I know its a tall order without a pic but if anyone can do it you guys can!!!

Do the leaves have white spots on them? If so they could be pulmonaria.
Not really sure what you mean about tiny bunny rabbits though!

Sounds a bit more like Comfrey. Flowers are pink or white. If it is leave it, it makes very good plant food!Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poetComment
