I say Arum Lilly, which one though ?

Could be the native, Calla palustris.

My young ones had leaves like that.

Pretty certain it's Sagittarius sagittifolia, (also known as Arrowhead) not to be confused with the grass-like aquarium plant with a similar name (have to say I'm a bit confused myself to be honest!  :lol:)

Got some in the margins of my pond and it's survived everything the last 7 or so years have thrown at it.  :)
