| | | Identification, please
Found this plant by the roadside in the middle of Derbyshire, and cannot find it in my (admittedly basic) Wild Flower books - is it a garden escapee? It was a good 1/2 mile from the nearest habitation, which didn't look particulary cultivated anyway!  
Expert identification welcomed! |

A non-expert planter here reckons its Solomons Seal, there's loads of it growing my garden which gets slaughtered by sawfly larvae every year.

The stem looks slightly ridged so most likely Garden Solomon's-seal (Polygonatum x hybridum) which is generally the commonest one. |

Many thanks for the prompt replies - does that make it a garden escapee, then, or is this a native species? | | |
