imageI dug this plant out and was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is. Its sprouting now from what seems to be some type of tuber. Thank you

    I'm not sure, but it looks a bit like the bane of my life, Arum Maculatum. A stunning plant, but they get everywhere and are very difficult to get rid of - I'm still not winning the battle after 6yrs!

    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
  • I think you are right Pete8 thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

    generally the leaves of an Iris come from a rhizome in a flat, fan type growth. That appears to be round though it may be a trick of the camera

  • Could you put it in a pot to see what it turns into? I'm curious?

    It is as Pete8 says - Arum Maculatum  - they are quite invasive so I would be careful in restricting this plant. Its also very uninteresting. I've got quite a lot of it in my garden and forever pulling up the new plants.
