These plants come up every spring...I haven't been able to identify them, could be a weed but they have a cute pale yellow flower. ??? ( photo / image / picture from gfreiherr's Garden ) moderator's note: added a more descriptive title to topic
Those are Perfoliate Bellwort (Uvularia perfoliata) and very pretty ones at that. They are definitely not a weed.
It's lovely! We managed to get hold of some two years ago, and it bloomed for us last spring. I don't know if it's still with us. *speeding off outside to check*
Thanks Jon, they come up under my rhododendrum which was planted before we moved here. Thanks to you all for your commens.
What pretty little flowers Gail. I don't think I've ever seen them before. Guess what I'll be watching out for in garden centres from now on? :-D
Just did a google search on this native plant and will add to the plant database. "Perfoliate" refers to the way the stems seem to pierce the leaves. I have learned so much since I have joined the stew!
