Re: Plant ID please

Yes, that looks like Bergenia x schmidtii - I've not yet found one in the wild myself, but it meets the description perfectly

B. x schmidtii is meant to be the commonest one now, and maybe it is in cultivation, but all the naturalised plants I've ever found have been Bergenia crassifolia or B. cordifolia - a lot of these modern horticultural hybrids aren't fully fertile, so they only occur in the wild as chuck-outs on rubbish heaps
