This plant has sprung up in my garden.  I don't remember buying it or planting it.  When I but a new plant I usually keep the information that comes with it and I don't seem to have that.  Its got little furry type buds coming - I am just hoping its not a tree!  Any ideas??




Thank you

Almost looks a bit like a Mimosa leaf.

It looks very familiar but a bit too hefty for mimosa I would have thought.... I guess it would depend on the type.

The leaves look a bit like vetch but it seems a bit tall

Perchance it may be a bottlebrush plant? Maybe a new one?  Looks nice now!

Looks like Soloman's Seal to me.

[mumofstig]

we'll just have to wait for the flowers to open  That will answer the question

White flowers?

[Growster...]

Solomon's Seal almost certainly!

And a goodun, which is a squillion times better than all our efforts at growing one...

[sarajane]

looks rather like vetch to me  -  I have loads of solomans seal in the garden and it doesnt quite look like that.  Solomans S tends to gracefully arch over rather than grow straight up.

I think it's a Jacob's Ladder, which I think is Polymonium spp.

I think you could be right

Similar to this - Polemonium Bressingham

I was thinking it looked a little like Jacob's ladder, but my plant ID is regularly unreliable so I'm pleased to hear others suggesting it too!

Probably seeded by birds?
I've got some weird additions due to the berry/seed eating birds; a sort of bushy clump with little daisies (weed? camomile?) , hebe, hypericum, pyracantha, cotoneaster, mahonia.....all round the edge where they sit on the fence and poo.
And all the flowers attract bees as well as producing berries/seeds for the birds!
Ain't nature wonderful......

Looks like a Jacob's ladder to me too.
