    Definately a Prunus sp. or apple. Might be blackthorn.

    Is it a weed? I'm hoping it isn't as there's loads of it in my garden!

    It's a Euphorbia ..also known as Spurge. There was a feature on this family of plants in this week's Gardener's World.

    Thank you for your replies, i'll look it up now that I know what it is called. I'm glad it's not a weed because it looks lovely.

    Quite often pick a little of this when walking in the forest, it's lovely.

    Euphorbia is one of my very favourites. There are different varietes, we have one like yours, and one with little burgundy eye. It is remarkably ''joyful'' and giving.

    If you love it you might like to look at things like green hellebore and lady's mantle too. :)

    Its a nice looking plant isn't it? They do a redish brown version of them too. I was very tempted to buy one on Sunday but I bought so many plants some of which haven't come yet
