Leaf identification
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 Pam in Bristol |

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 Well, we'll have to wait and see if it is a violet, Charlie. The leaves are so much like that but so much bigger. Yes, they are heart-shaped, with the same texture and habit as violets, growing in a shady border among other plants but, according to my friend, not planted! No, Dazzhiggins, it's not Marsh Marigold or Coltsfoot. The former is shinier, the latter more matt than these! It's not doronicum or anything else daisy-like that I've ever seen. Any usggestions of violets which might have leaves as big as, say, lilac? Pam in Bristol |
