This plant pops up now and again but I'm blessed if I can remember what it is called. ???

Perhaps a variegated form of Montia (Claytonia) perfoliata ? I am not totally sure.

Thanks Gerd, I reckon you are right, but I can't find any record of a variegated form. ???

Well, no, now that you mention it,  I may have been thinking about the regular decorating habits of David Nicholson!! I think a lot of his plants have speckles, or even smart wallpaper.... ::) ;D

Well, it starts off with- "I'll do it next week when I've more time" or- "The weather forecast is good for next week, why don't you bring your Mum down for a few days" or- "It's far too nice (or wet, hot, cold etc) to start decorating today"

So John, in my mind 'prevarication' and 'irregular' are inter-changeable mind sets ;D

What a cool plant!!  :o  Love those variegated leaves, and the fact that the flowers look like they emerge from the middle of one of those leaves.  Very, very unusual!!  Cool!  8)

Never heard of a variegated form of Miner's Lettuce either...an excellent early spring salad plant, not uncommonly grown in the UK; it's just emerging here (once you have it, it comes back year after year)....
