Darren (Dazdidge) queried what this plant might be yesterday. He thought it was something or other, but I can't remember what he said :roll:
Any takers?

Further along the river I discovered a carpet of this stuff.

I know what it is, are there any takers. Here's a closer pic. It's the purple-tinged double leafed plant.

I think the top one is comfrey, the bottom ones look like cotyledons (seed leaves) of some recently germinated seed, possibly sycamore, but it's hard to tell.
I to would go along with the top one being Comfrey and the other, going buy the flower is Lesser Celandine.
Not sure but I think in the good old days they thought it might be a cure for piles :shock:
pull up a plant and look at the tubers (roots) and all will become self evident. :lol: :D

Himalayan Balsam seedlings?
I thought it was comfrey myself, so time to do some picking. A gardner friend told me to soak comfrey leaves in water for a few days then kind of mash them up and leave for for another few days, strain the liquid and then used it to feed the tomatoes. I don't know if he is taking the piss or not but I am going to give it a try. He swears it will double the size of them.
cheers
