My daughter has this growing in her garden but I'm not sure what it is! Thought it may be Wild Ginger? Just need to know whether to pull it up as it seems to be quite invasive!
Hi Pottamus. They look like the dreaded celandines to me. I have been trying to get rid of them for years - unsuccessfully. They do disappear by summer though
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Is that cluster of leaves at the front all one plant or multiple plants. To test, dig a bit up, it it all joined together or if you shake the dirt off does it fall into separate bits?
Which plant do you mean? I can also see Herb Robert and Forget-me-nots plus an aquilegia, maybe docks and a crysanth and is that bluebell on the left.....I can't zoom in to ID. Looking again maybe an allium too.
Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.

What is wild ginger?

I can't focus in close enough to attempt ID

Don't think it's any of the plants commonly called Wild Ginger.
Does look like celandine to me - but I can't see it clearly.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Thanks for your posts. I'll get my daughter to dig up and check if one plant. I suspect it's a weed of some sort!
