Walking through the Homestead Park in York a couple of days ago, Katharine and I spotted this rather attractive flower cluster, and neither of us recognised what it was.
Checking with an online plant idintifier, we discovered that there is a 60% chance that this is Heart-leaf foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia L.), so I'm assuming that is what this is. Probably more reliable would be to ask one of the Homestead Park gardeners when I see one working in that part of the gardens! Generally when we ask a question of a gardener in the park they are very helpful and informative and only too happy to share their knowledge.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Interestiing that so many of you aren't familiar with this flower. I found it in an area of the park that has been replanted over the last year, and there are a number of plants new to me in that area. I will be keeping an eye on how this plant develops, so there might be more photos to post of it in the future.
