Hello all
This is my first post and it's an identification question.
Can you tell me if the attached picture shows a flower or a weed leaf
system.
I'm a complete novice at this, my wife was the green fingered but she
sadly passed away last year. So now I'm in charge but don't know my
weeds from my elbow.
So if you could identify this plant as friend (flower) or foe (weed) I'd
be grateful.
Thanks
Derek

Could be a bleeding heart or other Dicentra species. I'd let it grow.
Flower buds will probably be appearing fairly soon.


I agree may be a bleeding heart. White or red will take some time.
Good plant.
