in Plants
Dear Forum Members,
Can you identify this? is it of the 'hyacinth' family? Berries look toxic. I don't want it where it is in the garden, is it easy to remove? can it be transplanted? I have a feeling it's quite a ubiquitous plant in these Isles, having seen it before.
Many thanks!

Not sure why its such a tiny picture. sorry!!!
Too small to see in fact
Can you upload a bigger version?
Arum maculatum - Lords and Ladies aka Cuckoopint.....wild flower probably brought in by the birds. Most things in the garden are poisonous!!
If it has green leaves it's Arum maculatum, lords and ladies, cuckoo pint.
If it has variegated leaves it's Arum italicum marmoratum
It was about 1mm bigger when I enlarged it Steve

aaaah! just been reading up on it. I have heard of the "Arum Lily" before. Thanks again!
I think arum lily is Zantedeschia, summat else altogether

Here it says it's also known as arum lily:

I suppose there's nothing preventing two species being known as arum lily, is there?
Well, that's an example of the fallibility of Wiki
