Friend or foe?

Could anyone please identify this, presumably, perennial plant which has appeared in the garden of our new property?  Currently, the shoots are about 3 to 4cm high and they are appearing in an area approx. 50cm across.  Any help appreciated.

    Thanks - I know there is a variegated ivy leaf in the picture but it is the somewhat succulent shoot which I am struggling with.

    I think it might be a Trillium - not sure which type .... image

    Many thanks! Trillium certainly looks to be a strong possibility.  I did grow these over thirty years' ago, in my very first garden, but had totally forgotten what they looked like.

    It has finally revealed itself as Houttuyina cordata Chameleon. Thank you for all your suggestions however.
