Might be a daylily, if it's a weed it's not one I know
In the sticks near Peterborough
Looks a bit like blubells.
Nut, do you think the leaves look a bit narrow for day lily, mine are much wider and much paler
if it helps folks it's 18 inches tall at the mo, don't know if it's a weed or not
Lyn. Maybe. It was that slightly grey/green look that made me think daylily.
Photos are so deceptive aren't they? we wouldn't have any problem telling a bulb from a daylily in the garden

Hi philipa
i didn't know if it was a weed
18 inches tall rules out blue bells.back to you!
Perhaps you could dig a bit up and show us what the root looks like.
I thought Crocosmia does look simular to some i am growing has it ever flowered ? mine blooms really nice orange flowers,might also help identifying by checking to see if it has bulb or root ?
think its too early for daylilly or crocosmia but might be iris
My crocosmia are between 4 and 8 inches tall at the mo, although I'm in the SE and they're the wild orange ones. The leaves look a bit lighter than those, but right shape.
