    I have been given this plant by one of my allotment buddies who grows it at home but he's as clueless as me for it's name, it would be brilliant if you good people could help us two out.

    All I can add (if it's any help?) is that this plant has a bunch of orange seeds all in a cluster.

    Looks like cuckoo pint I think. Arum maculatum. Not saying that it is, and I'm sure someone will put me right if I'm wrong.

    Thanx guys all sorted now and I have just the place for it to go too, not bothered if it's poisonous more than likely Bob will make cages to pop over the 'naughty' plants when the wee ones come to visit.

    Many thanks again.Hel.xxx.
