    I think that's Tellima grandiflora

    Geum?

    But Nut's probably right - she usually is image

    Ah Fab thank you.  I think Tellima Grandiflora is right, although I do have lots of Geum, which is probably what my seedlings post will be tomorrow.

    Thank you as ever for your wisdom image

    Tellima is a  big self seeder, more than geums, in my garden at least. Geums are more likely to die than reproduceimage.

    Except for G. urbanumimage

    Unfortunately I have been digging out Geum urbanum in masses in my woody area. image

    Me too Peanuts. I never get it all out before it seeds and the seeds stick to clothes to be transported elsewhereimage

    If I didn't try and keep on top of them, Geum urbanum and Ranunculus repens would completely take over my whole garden in short order!  OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration as I'm sure the Hedera helix and Fraxinus excelsior seedlings would survive and the Fragaria vesca would doubtless find a niche for itself, too, not to mention the Aegopodium podagraria and Elymus repens! image  Blimey, they don't seem so bad when called by their latin names though do they? image

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