    It's arrived in my border uninvited and has just produced a spike of yellow flowers. Grey-green, deeply divided leaves, a bit dewy in the photos. Clump is about a foot across and six inches high. I have a feeling I've seen something similar growing in the odd front garden round here. Apologies for the somewhat blurry second photo! 001.JPG 002.JPG

      Yellow corydalis, but I think they might have changed the name recently :)
