Solved Unknown Plants identification

hi all , my name is Stephen ( Steve is fine ) I live in Heacham , North Norfolk Coast , I'm currently working as a Security Operative for Securitas , my Garden is pretty manageable , except I have a really virilant strain of Ivy growing at the end of it from beneath the conifer hedge and it grows out of control , growing round my Roses , my bamboo plant etc , it's all I can do to keep it from choking everything else , I usually spend an hour or so occasionally pulling up every trace of it I can find , but it always seems to grow back very quickly , I dare not use weed killer for fear of killing the conifer hedge , so any advice would be greatly appreciated , also , I have a plant growing in my garden that I don't recal seeing before , can anyone identify it for me please ( picture attached )

 

Hiya Steve, to the forum.
I think that your plant might be Arum maculatum - otherwise known as Lords and Ladies, or Cuckoopint.
If you can find the main root of the ivy you want to get rid of, and pile on some Epsom salts, cover with plastic and weigh it down, it should get rid of the problem. It`s wise not to use weed killers in my opinion, and if there is any seepage from the Epsom salts, it will only serve to feed any surrounding plants for you. The damage to the targeted root is by ''overdose''

 

Arum! Thanks
@Tetters it would have bugged me all night . Good advice too

 

Can`t have you feeling 'fraught' before bedtime Loki .... Sleep well !!

 

Indeed , on closer inspection of the Maculatum genus , I found a closer faximily in the Arum Italicum , Definately the Cockoo pint , Thank you , and thanks for the advice regarding the ivy , that sounds like it may well help a great deal

 

Thanks for all that , really helpful

 

Morning @Stephen George and again to GC...as you can see we're a friendly bunch

You could always do what I did with Oxalis burn it out and set your other plants on fire besides getting high at the same time

No don't even try it the experience I had that day stoned out my brains for hours

 

Welcome to the forums Stephen.
You need to see what the leaves look like before being able to decide whether it is Arum Italicum or Arum maculatum.
Both have the same seed arrangement...green turning red.
