    Hello. I have an unknown plant that is scrambling around and getting quite big lately. I sprinkled wild flower seed in the flower bed before planting the blue and white flowers that you can see (and there are some spring bulbs underneath too). Is the plant likely to flower/take over everything? Will I leave it or is it a weed?

    Looks like it may be a creeping buttercup (ranunculus). It is a weed and it spreads everywhere. It sends out runners which take root when they touch the ground.
    I would definitely pull it up if it is.

    Thank you all so much. I didn't think of buttercup - but once you said it :o :rolleyes: I'm going to pull it up. Well done and thanks for your help.
