Anyone identify these plants that have appeared in the last few weeks?

    Could be Bluebells.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    @pr1970 They could be the green form of your 'Black Grass'?

    Agree, they can only be bluebells now, I think everything else like that is up and gone. Fortunately they are English ones, so would be a keeper for me.

    I think close inspection is now needed. From a pkt of seed most Black grass seedings are green. If you have planted the Black Grass then bluebells are the most likely.
    Perhaps dig some up you will need to dig down if they are Bluebells it will be easy to tell.

    Bulbs definitely.  Bluebells probably.

    the green version of Black Grass looks the same as black except it's green, a duller deeper green than anything you have there. The leaves in question are much more upright. Bluebells would be my thought except for those just to the left of the 'Black Grass' which are something else

    Thanks all, I dont remember seeing any bluebells before. Do they always flower or am i just getting the leaves.

    The picture in @judykaiser819 's post looks much more like spanish bluebell than english (broad leaves, thick sturdy stems, flower buds somehow more "chunky").

    If a previous owner had tried to dig them out but left some little ones behind, they might not have reached flowering size yet.
