Odd weed/horseradish.

We only tried a tiny bit. We were sure it was horseradish but the leaves baffled us a bit.////Lynne x

And yet you said in your first post it looked like an arum......

This is a very good site for identifying UK wild flowers - the left hand column allows you to identify by all sorts of different criteria - colour, leaf shape, flowering time, TASTE, number of petals etc.

Happy sampling - (what flowers would you like?)

We thought it might be some kind of crazy wild horseradish.
Tomorrow I might have a bash at that plant that looks like ginger but I am certain it is cyclamen. That is a name I couldn't for the life of me remember when I was showing BB round the gardens. Bloomin empty headed day I had.
I'll have a look at that site Mothhawk when my headache has gone a bit more, thank you.

Be careful Lynne - we're only just getting to know you and don't want to lose you yet!!
Mothhawk - have you ever found Wild Ginger anywhere? I haven't!

Its probably not ginger, its cyclamen. But the leaves are the same as the ginger lol.. Was ony joshing!
But blimy its a massive carpet of cyclamen that has gone bonkers everywhere, if it is cyclamen!

Cyclamen or celandine?

[wizzbang]

I don't know! Let me have a quick look at that site.
Cyclamen I think but ive not actually felt the leaves so I don't know how thick and leathery they are yet. I really like cyclamen but not so much to let them take over, The patch is about 20 feet square!
When I dig my camera out Ill be able to take pictures, but I haven't even moved into my house where all my stuff is yet, im still living in my daughters house while all the renovations are going on. Its a bloomin nightmare!

If its celandine there are probably some yellow flowers amongst the leaves.
I hope its cyclamen as a carpet of those is so beautiful
