Can anyone identify this plant? The goldy yellow one with heart shaped leaves. DH thinks the autumn colour is lovely.

Thank you!

Would be nice to have more of a close up. Looks like a group of gone-over cyclamen, but to be that it'd have to be an indoor cyclamen planted outside - the hardy ones are in full growth at the moment. So my best guess would be Brunnera.

I wondered Brunnera too...

Apologies for the photo, it’s what DH sent me. I shall have a look at Brunnera.

Many thanks!

It's an Epimedium. Perhaps Epimedium brevicomu or E. grandiflorum "Princesss Susan".

Don't Epimediums have several leaves to a stem? This one has only a single leaf on each stem.

Is it not a hosta dying back for winter?

@Flaunch

Looks like a hosta to me too. Mine looks like that at the moment.

Hosta

ErrolTheDragon · 29/10/2020 21:05

The dead flower spikes look hosts-ish too, to me.

MereDintofPandiculation · 30/10/2020 10:56

Could be Hosta. Small leaves though for a h=7osta?

... Yes, Hosta. I've just enlarged the pic. In the centre there is a flower spike still in flower, pale mauve open mouthed bells, OK for Hosta, not OK for Brunnera.

What would be a clincher for Hosta is if the leaf veins all start at the stem and run almost parallel up te leaf, rather than forming a branching network. Enlarging the picture of course just enlarges the the lack of focus, but I think the veins are parallel. Something the OP could check.

It looks like hostas to me too

ErrolTheDragon · 30/10/2020 14:01

I passed a hosta with leaves much that size, colour and shape on my walk just now.

1questionshootout · 30/10/2020 16:42

Do all host as look like that over winter? Or do they need tidied up?

( I’ve totally failed at hostas before)

Hostas die back completely over winter, @1questionshootout, So you could remove all the dying leaves for tidiness, if you wish.
