Thank you Dove, I'd be very pleased if it was. Though goodness knows how it got there, it's right at the edge of the pond where the soil is frequently saturated.
Mmm... Fishy, how long has there been a garden where you are? Because my first thought on seeing the leaves was that it's Zantedeschia aethiopica. Admittedly it is a small and deformed leaf, but it does look rather like that. This would only make sense though if your pond had been an ornamental pond years ago which has got overgrown with the passage of time.
Cambridgerose - I wonder if you may be on to something. The garden has probably been here for some years, a previous tennant was a keen gardener with a greenhouse. I don't think there has been a pond in our garden as far as I know. I dug this one out 2 years ago. However I did receive some very welcome plant donations from the lovely members of this site. Could it be possible a plant was mislabeled or a piece of zantedeschia aethiopica was accidentally included?

I think it might be Pontederia cordata (pickerel weed).
Thank you for your contribution Asarum. Whatever it is, I didn't put it there
