  • Can you identify this plant?

    A couple of these have emerged in my flower beds, one in the front garden a couple in the back. I've no idea what it is. There are three possibilities:

    a) My late father planted them and they were too small for me to notice last year

    b) They're saxifrages I planted last year, bought dirt cheap at the end of the season and which I thought had rapidly died completely. If so they are larger than the details on the pot said, and they don't look exactly like the illustration.

    c) They self seeded from somewhere - in which case are they something work keeping or do I pull them up?

              I'm with Two Sheds and would wait until it flowers. I think ragwort has to be reported if it is found. This is ragwort - http://www.freewebs.com/starclan_2006/Ragwort.jpg

                No need to report ragwort. It is good to uproot it before it flowers to stop the spread though.

                  Thanks all. It definitely looks like the photo Tam linked to. I'll get rid of them, as they're swamping some of the nearby plants.
