Hi, I have a green tall plant that has appeared in two locations in my borders. I believe it has probably come from bird droppings. They stand about 2 feet tall on a single thick stem with green leaves alternating up the stem in a spiral pattern. A light coloured stripe appears in the crease of each leaf. At the top it has branched out into about six stems each with a funny shaped green leaves with a yellow area in the centre. these look like its flowers. Should I dig them up and destroy or do they have a name that I should continue to let grow.

Google for "caper spurge" and see if it looks like that.
Could be a euphorbia, can you post a photo. Just click on the tree icon at the top of the posting box, then follow instructions.
Just looked up caper spurge. Thanks it looks just like that. I think I'll pull it up as I see it can be quite an irritant. Thankyou.
