    I feel I should know what this is - but I don't! It keeps popping up in my garden and I'm not sure if I really want it! Can any of you help please? I've tried plant identification sites but they don't usually ask if it has spots on it - "green leaves" isn't a helpful search word!
    PS There is a bit of a fuchsia sticking into the edge of the picture - just to confuse you.

    Lungwort, Pulmonaria officinalis.
    Not everybody's favourite but good for a bit of early spring colour and it doesn't mind a being in a dry, shady spot.
    If you do decide to get rid of it, make sure you dig out all the roots, or it will keep coming back. :dbgrtmb:

      Thank you for that speedy reply. Never heard of it! But at least I can now sound as though I know what I'm talking about!! I expect I'll leave them where they are for the moment.
