Does anyone know what this is, no-one seems to recognise it!

Can anyone help me identify this plant please? It's in a new bed I made last year and isn't anything I'm aware that I've planted but I don't think it's a weed. On the other hand I have a dock now growing where I thought I'd planted a delphinium

it's a weed but don't know what type, i get them everywhere but have never let them get this big to flower
It's a corydalis, I don't know which one though, sorry

Sorry sanjy, not arguing, posts crossed. I think that's a too strong-looking plant for fumitory, unless mine are very feeble specimens

Think it's corydalis buschii.
Could be Dave, that's not one I grow. It's none of my pink ones

Ohhh Sunshine Smiler - if you're digging any of it up, could I possibly have some pieces of the rhizomes ....... I will gladly pay the postage
Sorry - forgot to say please
Thank you all for your help.
No, you're not losing the plot Tetley
Sanjy said weed but she couldn't remember the name. It was me that mentioned the name fumitory
but it wasn't me that IDd it as fumitory.
All clear now?
Not sure I am

Probably is. I feel sorry for mine, pathetic specimens compared to that

I was thinking along the fumitory lines too - but I've also been looking at several varieties of Corydalis
(I've put a request on the Seed and Plant swap for one variety).
Whatever it is, when you decide, I should be very grateful to take you up on your offer (please)
