| | | white-flowered plant ID, please
Could someone please help me with the name/ID of this plant? I found it growing today near a pond in Somerset. I looked through the wildflower a-z but didn't spot anything that looked like this.
Thanks for your help!

| | | Re: white-flowered plant ID, please Looks like Hybrid Elephant-ears, Bergenia x schmidtii
They're normally pink, but apparently some cultivars do have white flowers. Where abouts did you find this one? |

| | | Re: white-flowered plant ID, please It's definitely Elephants ears, a garden escape. I think it is called "Starlight"

| | | Re: white-flowered plant ID, please Thank you so much, both!
While looking up Silberlicht (Starlight), I noticed that Bressingham White is very similar. Is there an easy way to tell from my photo which this might be? I realise that I might be asking an impossibility, but I thought someone might be able to spot a difference which isn't obvious to me, |

| | | Re: white-flowered plant ID, please From what I remember of mine years ago, Starlight had very large heads of flowers that turned a bit pink as they aged.
