seedling in a trough

[mark smyth]

This plant has appeared in one of my troughs. I pulled it out last year around this time but it's now come back bigger than ever

[Maggi Young]

Looks like an Actaea, Mark. A. spicata perhaps........you haven't a plant that might have come from us in that trough, have you? We have Actaea as a weed in most places!!

[mark smyth]

Nope nothing from you in there

[mark smyth]

It now has a flower stem with a tiny group of pure white flowers. The sun this morning isnt good for white flowers but here it is anyway

Mark,

I had been going to suggest an Astilbe by the leaves, but that flower definitely is not that.  Rather interesting little flowers!!

Hello Mark,

it really looks like an actaea indeed; actaea pachypoda perhaps...
