Hi all! New to the forum (as you can see from wonky photo skills!). Anyone know what this plant is? It's probably very obvious, but I recently moved to a different part of the country & staggered at the amount of unusual plants I'm still discovering in my back garden! I thought it looked a little bit like a euphorbia, but I'm not convinced.

Hi Alan and welcome
It looks to me like the Corsican hellebore, Helleborus argutifolius

Hi Alan, welcome to the forum
You've got a hellebore there, Helleborus foetidus, the native one. Nice. What else have you found?
In the sticks near Peterborough
Nut's probably right - she usually is - especially about native plants

I'll have a 2nd look Dove, the leaves looked like foetidus to me, corsicus/argutifolius broader and jagged edges.
We'll get a 3rd opinion soon

The larger leaves looked pretty jagged to me ...

Def. H.foetidis.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
argutifolius is aka holly leaved hellebore and the leaves are quite holly like (with a little imagination
)

I shall try to be more observant
and then I shall t ry to remember
