Hi, We've got some of this in our garden

Can't find it on google and no one knows what it is. I don't like it much but if it flowers we might be tempted to keep it.

Any ideas?

Looks like Coltsfoot - a Tussilago species. Apparently medicinal and flowers a bit like a dandelion.

Does it smell garlicky? Could be:

Alliaria petiolata

Very common in hedgerows and pops up in gardens.

ISTR it has invasive roots. Be sure to get all of it.
