Can you identify this plant (on my profile) with the white flowers with a fleshy central spike, and heart shaped leaves? It's appeared in my garden and I can't remember its name. It's so pretty and I'm reluctant to weed it out but as I can't find its name, I don't know how it behaves. Anyone recognise it?

I've tried plant identifiers but it's not showing up. I know I've seen it before.
Welcome back Jingle. You were missed 
If it is the leaves should smell slightly of citrus when crushed....
Indeed it is!! Thanks lucid. Just looked it up. It's also called the Chameleon plant as the leaf colours change over the summer and autumn. Apparently it's quite invasive but good ground cover. brilliant - it can stay 
Yes. That's it. Bishops hat or epimedium or barrenwort. Four or five white petals and a sticky up thing like an erect catkin in the centre.
Not Epimedium - that flowers in spring and the leaves are different. Definitely Houttuynia cordata. Thanks everyone
Did this thread disappear for a while there? 
It was definitely gone.
There's been gremlins afoot in the last couple of weeks Jingle. Now you see it, now you d..................oo-er, gone again
Oh, whoops! Sorry, when!
