I have no idea, never seen anything like it, but I'd like to know

Thanks for all the replies - I think we will probably keep it (for the
meantime anyway) as it is currently at the back of a bed and well out of
reach of my nearly 2 year old. The rest have all been warned not to pick
any of the plants without me letting them.

It was dug up in Ross-on-Wye, but has been here in rainy Ayrshire since last
summer so is pretty hardy. To be honest, its not really to my taste but
I've got to let someone else have a say in the plants occasionally!

Saffy.
