    We have a caravan that has a small garden in the Silverdale area . I have just been tidying up the rockery type garden and found these two quite large plants.
    Now I do not know what they are. Should they be there , or have they blown in on the wind ? Any ideas.

    TIA

        @fat controller , spot on there , the leaves check out on Google images as a Foxglove :blue thumb: I do like Foxgloves , a single one may look a little lonely but it's a start.

                  Well I just found where Figwort / Scrophularia came from . There is a bunch of them in the next garden 6 feet away ! It possibly won't make my top plant list .Can't even find a decent photo of it on Google . I'll let it live its alloted span ,then make a call on it.
