Please Identify ....

[Ann]

I've found a flower growing (self set) in a plant pot which looks a bit like lily of the valley flower only much taller and with different leaves. The tiny flower bells are yellowish tinged with pink at the edges. Anyone got any idea what it is please? My Mum said it was mentioned on the programme re Chelsea Flower Show either last night or Thursday.

I will post a picture of it tomorrow unless anyone can tell me tonight.

Thanks carrust but the flowers are totally different. Like little bells (very similar to lily of the valley flowers not stars like on your pics) Will keep on trying ...

Does anyone know yet?

Sorry Ann that my searches have failed. I agree with you that Heuchera is the nearest:-

It has self seeded itself in a pot containing a small field maple tree - I have been looking in all my gardening books and internet all day and am delighted to have identified it!

Good night Ann........Al.

It is a form of heuchera, and it self seeds quite freely, I can remember the species name. Very pretty in a semi shaded garden, works well with forget me nots in the spring!

Oops, I meant tellima - always middling those two up! I should nurture it and you will get more in the garden, it's so pretty!
