I spotted it while weeding this afternoon. I don't recognise it and I certainly haven't planted it so it must have self seeded or come in attached to something else last year.

The leaves are quite fleshy but not rigid or cactus like.

J52 thank you. I will Google it!

It’s a type ofMorel mushroom.

wot, it may be an idea to start a fresh post as possibly people have stopped reading this one as the type of plant was identified for merlotgran.
Sorry I have no idea what it is, will be interested to find out.

I have a baby primula, but didn't know its name
So I asked the Gnet gardeners with hopes they had the same,
I got a lot of answers and some knowledgeable crumbs
And now I know this primula is handy on the drums,
So, I think I'll call it Ringo - He can entertain the seeds
And I'll play him Beatles records when I'm pulling out the weeds,
If he doesn't pull his socks up and enhance my Cottage Theme
He can sit atop the compost playing 'Yellow Submarine'

I only realised that mine had gone walkies when I saw the picture on here
I just called it a primula

Jalima1108 Tue 26-Feb-19 20:14:15

I think it's a drumstick primrose grin

I had one once but I've just realised it has disappeared.

Had your local radio station got a gardening spot, you could email them a picture if they have, or take the picture to a local garden centre they might be able to help.
It's very beautiful and I would love to know what it's called when you find out.
Good luck and thank you for sharing it.

merlotgran Tue 26-Feb-19 17:34:42

Yes! It's Primula denticulata - drumstick primrose.

Thank you, everyone.

Gettingitrightoneday Tue 26-Feb-19 17:22:40

Have you got a better photo. I really dont think the leaves are like aquilegia.
Do tell us when we know for sure.

justanovice Tue 26-Feb-19 17:11:13

A Primula Denticulata would be my guess. Otherwise known as a drumstick primrose.

Esspee Tue 26-Feb-19 15:58:28

Drumstick primula?

oldgaijin Tue 26-Feb-19 15:15:15

If you send a pic to the RHS at Wisley, they may be able to identify it...however, be warned, they get very snotty unless you are a member. Do you get the Beechgrove Garden on English TV? They are always willing to help. It's made by Tern Television.

merlotgran Tue 26-Feb-19 12:45:38

Definitely Primula denticulata. Thanks everyone.sunshine
