Found this near the site where I have the winter aconites and snowflakes. I have no idea whatsoever

It had spotted leaves

Thanks.

thanks David. It goes back to my point in the purism thread. I don't know if this has been planted or been spread by a bird. It is in a place that has aconites, snowflakes, snowdrops, three cornered leek, ramsons and croci. To me this is just as good as finding another plant. Its a really nice plant in itself

I checked the BSBI distribution and there aren't many records for it
