In a way, I look forward to finding one of those now!
Glad to hear that you don't all have forensically weed-free gardens.
As you say, Ladybird, the little celandine have their day and then disappear - so no need to clear those - I'll treat those as wild flowers and concentrate on the real thugs and uglies.

Its called Sticky Willy here in Lancashire too; or Cleavers or Goosegrass
whew Ladybird. thanks.
I've heard it called " sweetheart plant" in Hants / Surrey because once attached , it sticks with you .
Yes. Sticky Willy , Hosta.
SEE? it's NOT just me.

My Mum was too polite to call it Willy. She called it Sticky Willow
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I'd always thought it was the boys' name Willy, not , erm. the other sort.
Bless your Mum Fairygirl

My mum would have found it hard to say, whatever one it was Hosta!

I would truly hate my garden if it were weed free. I grow for my creatures, not the neighbourhood.
