These large leaves are coming up all around the garden and wondered if anyone knew what they were.

    They look like varieties of tulips to me. In the last picture it looks like you have what I call "sticky weed" that needs pulling out, easy to do but wear gloves it can irritate. You'll know which I mean by how it sticks to you. image

    Yes as KEF said they look like tulip leaves.

    ooh, tulips nice. Thank you both!

    I will have to check out that 'sticky weed' I can't tell which one you mean from the picture but will go out and see what you mean.

    Cheers.

    Definitely is Hostafan1, I was thinking to just wait and see what they do, but curiosity got the better of me.

    Jack, do you really not recognise goose-grass, cleavers, sticky weed?  Did you not have it in the school playground and stick it to the back of your friends/enemies?

    Town children miss out on so much innocent enjoyment!!  Country children have too much time on their hands!!

    My mum used to go wild with us when we came in covered in what we called sticky buds. The seeds(sticky buds) are a pain to get off of wooly jumpers, one at a time.

    Oh, when we used to go on holiday into the countryside we used to throw 'sticky buds' at each other. I wasn't a total town child we spent most of our time outside and in the woods nearby, I grew up, up North. I would recognise a fully grown 'sticky bud' plant, but where on the picture is that?

    You're thinking of Burdock, a much bigger plant. In the last picture I can see a plant with whorls of green leaves, which is Cleavers, Galium aparine. You can pull up lengths of it and throw it at your friends; later in the year it has tiny round sticky seeds. The leaves have tiny hooks on them which stick to anything in its path.

    It's called goosegrass where I come from
