Can anyone identify this 'weed'. A friend of mine brought it to me thinking I could tell her what it is and whilst it is familiar to me I have no idea what it is.
???
(Sorry for quality of pic, I had to scan it and my scanner is doing this weird yellow background!!)
Bindweed?
Im no expert, but it looks like a bean leaf to me

Bindweed?
I think your right barnowl, coz they look like heart shaped leaves, just the way they are in the pic :D
Could it be Arum (Lords and Ladies, Cuckoopint). I don't think this flowers yet but its leaves look very much like your photo.
thank you all, the leaves don't show very well on the scan so it does look a bit bindweed like which is what the friend had thought, having had to contend with bindweed in a previous garden I knew it wasn't that.
It is Lords and Ladies (Arum Maculatem) I've trawled google now thankyou Suzanne, I said to her that it looked a bit Lily like so there we are! :)
and it's still too cold for such big leaves on bindweed...
:o
Lucky I put in a question Mark :)
Can you give us some sort of scale.
How big are the leaves?
How many leaves on the plant?
Do the leaves form a rosette on the ground, or is there a stalk with the leaves comming off ?
Arum
