i think iv uploaded the pics, if not im sorry not sure how to do it
pics are a bit out of focus. First glance they look like rosebay, but
the massive underground root suggests perhaps not. The other possibility
is one of the euphorbias - probably Euphorbia griffithsii. It will have
no flowerheads at theis time of year, just shoots, and it spreads by
thick underground roots. If it is that, it's worth keeping - it has
flowers surrounded by showy orange bracts which last for a long time.
Kay uses gardenbanter so can see your pics, the rest of us on usenet
can't.
Wearing gloves cut a stem and see if it bleeds white milky sap. If it
does it's a euphorbia as Kay says.The sap of euphorbias can be a severe
skin irritant to many people ; even brushing the leaves does it to me. I
wouldn't let children play among euphorbia. But if you can avoid contact,
it's a handsome garden plant.
