| | | Re: Unknown plant If it is growing in a garden I suspect that rather than Comfrey, it may be Green Alakanet Pentaglottis sempervirens, a plant that round my way seems to have become a common garden weed over the past few years.

| | | Re: Unknown plant Hiya, thanks for all your replies, it's actually growing in a cemetery! there is a lot of overgrown grass about and various weeds, but this was just growing by itself so it drew my attention to it and it stood out compared to the other plants. |
