Weed? -- Oh! No! -- It's "Spring Beauty" from America.
Whilst weeding, I came across this beauty in amongst the Chickweed. Anyone know what it is, and if it's alright to leave it amongst my Marigolds.
I'm surprised I don't know it, as it's quite distinctive with the flower stalk rising from that leaf/bract, which is about an inch across.
Thank you so much Penny Bun for identifying it as a Claytonia -- with lots of local names such as Spring Beauty and Miners' Lettuce. I will certainly let it grow and try some in a salad. The basal leaves are a bit like Lambs Lettuce. It was introduced from America in the 18th. Century. And I've got it growing wild in my garden -- with the Welsh Poppies.
Are the supplementary photos below appearing alright?
