@ianshaw @Keely @nessas just went out to have a look, theres quite a few sprouting up in pots so i mustve planted them. not sure if you'll see that but they are fluffy. Last year I'm sure only one appeared in a large pot, possibly with poppies, this year I have several in different pots. There's no bulbs just roots. confused.com😂

Thanks @nessas @Keely do you think it could be an unusual weed? Weeds are the only things I've not searched. I will keep it if it is😂because I like it.

@Keely @nessas I just looked at silene and from distant pics it looks like it but not so much closer up. I'm going back out in the rain for further inspection😂

@leno If it's a bulb it might be Calochortus; foliage checks out but flowers come in many colours

@KariSamuel this is the corn cockles but they could be ocean pearl, really nice to look at 😍I've not had any signs of them this year yet.
