I've got this - it's Lamium galeobdelon (or s'thing like that!!) It is very pretty, but watch out as it can and does get invasive. It's best in a natural style garden where it can just do what it wants. It's a native wildflower.

yes sid i keep my wildflowers under controll, jusy keep taking some off as i feel i have to ;o))

Yes, mine is rampant too, it's the variegated one with purple flowers. It's beautiful but has to be pulled up all the time or it just takes over. Great ground cover though!

Its lovely. I have found a nettle growing in my garden. I was going to dig it out but it looks so nice and it doesnt sting so I am waiting to see what it grows like. I feel a bit silly saying this!

not silly it could be a wild plant like this so i would wait to shinobi

Ive looked at it again this morning and it looks just like yours but the flowers are white. It does look pretty so I will keep it. All flowers were weeds once!
