Another weed id please
Does anyone recognise this plant? My sis found it growing under a pot in her garden. I thought it looked a bit like a weed I had in my last garden that someone said was Goosefoot Trefoil but having Googled that name, I've not been happy with the result. The one in my last garden came out at this time of year and bloomed later with starry, yellow flowers. The leaves were very glossy and it seemed to like dark, damp places. The leaves are goosefoot or arrowhead or that sort of shape ...?

It's an Arum - Lords and Ladies or Cuckoo-pint. I think it's the marbled one, Arum italicum, or possibly a hybrid.
I'd go with Arum italicum or similar - I love them - the ones Nut gave me last year are making an appearance around the back of our pond.
Just don't eat the berries - but then that goes for honeysuckle and loads of other plants too http://www.finegardening.com/italian-arum-arum-italicum

They'll be around the front of the pond as well in a year or two Dove
In the sticks near Peterborough
They'll have to cope with the lawnmower at the front - should just about keep them under control

Yes, i would go with the Arum as well, i have one, no idea how it got there but unlike Dovefromabove , its growing in a very dry and sunny position, spreading very slowly. When the Hydreangea's are in leaf it does get shelter from the mid day- afternoon sun, but i shall move it this autumn to a better place by a water feature
Thanks people, I'll pass it on.
