Please can anyone suggest what this plant may be. No photo available
at present. It is in a friend's garden. She says it is nothing she
planted.
It is just like a violet leaf, but bigger than any violet I've seen;
about 3 inches across the widest part.
It is growing in a clump as violets do, but no sign of any flowers as
yet.
Any suggestions what I can look up?
TIA

Violet shaped as in heart shaped? Is it damp where it is growing?
Marsh marigolds (Caltha) have yellow buttercup flowers but will
already have flowered by now. If the leaves are hand sized, you have
Coltsfoot (Tussilago) or Rats Umbrellas (Petasites fragrans) both of
which are weeds (nice plants but weeds nonetheless). If it is a
garden plant, there are some daisy family things with heart shaped
leaves and yellow flowers (Doronicum). Very hard to tell from words
only; wait til it flowers?

Some of the violets have very large leaves
