    It is not a weed, it is a stonecrop (Sedum), but I can't say which.

    I think it may be a Saxifrage


    In the sticks near Peterborough

    It didn't look like a sedum, the leaves aren't thick and waxy and the ground was muddy and wet so not ideal conditions for it.

    It was growing on a bank near a stream, the whole bank was covered in it. I really like it!

    I think nut has it - Chrysosplenium oppositifolium (Opposite-leaved Golden Saxifrage.)

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Brilliant, you've just done one my queries! OH and I have just come back from a mooch around the garden, and we saw this, in a boggy bed by the stream, and were wondering what it was!
