Viburnum burkwoodii.....and I think the straight species rather than the more favoured 'Park Farm Hybrid' which is not usually bought cheap.... but they're both pale pink in bud...
I'll check the backs of the leaves tomorrow, Thanks
Marlorena, I think the leaf shape is wrong for fragrans, the leaves are those in the second pic, quite a complex shape. The ones in the first pic are a mix including Alliaria petiolata, Arum maculatum and Doronicum pardalianches.
...I was just going to say...having come across that one just now...
it seems the usual variety offered here is Petasites frigidus var. palmatus 'Golden Palms', but the foliage would be a touch more yellowy than yours, but I think you're on the right track... quite a rare plant here it seems in any case.. so maybe worth holding on to that one...
Yes, definitely nothing yellow about it. I'll see how it gets on, it's been with me for years but there used to be much more of it. The friend that gave it to me would be grateful if there was less of it. Hers started as a marginal pond plant and invaded the lawn from there. Mine is in wet soil at this time most years but in dry winters has to put up with less water.

Lancelot should read lanceolate.
Leaves ovate to lanceolate
