Plant/Weed ID
Hi,
I'm currently digging over an overgrown area and I’ve got these plants/weeds which seem to either be multiplying or there’s an abundance of seeds. They’re very persistent and no matter how many I dig out there always seems to be more a few weeks later. They also seem to be actively growing in winter too. Does anyone have any idea what they are?

Arum maculatum
aka Cuckoo Pint, Lords & Ladies and a host of other traditional names (some a bit rude ‘cos of the amazing flower)

it is a fascinating plant but a PITA in the veg patch or formal flower border.
