Little sprout
Coming up in my garden right next to some forest (primarily oak mixed with beech, birch, maple) in southwest Sweden. Last year i dug the area out and removed (most) roots. Not much came up but this little sprout. I suppose it could be roots reaching in from the adjacent forest.

Yea the colours aren’t there either. It did prompt me to pot some ginger in my kitchen tho :)

I would be delightfully surprised if asparagus showed up but its doubtful since this was just gravel and shrubbery two years ago. It started to open its top leafs so will take new photos tomorrow. Hopefully this mystery can be solved soon.

Thanks, I've been very curious about this - I'm a half decent botanist in the UK so it shouldn't be that alien to me! With those latest pics I've narrowed it down to Goldenrod or possibly tall ragwort, but I think flowers may be key to securing the id.

Automatic identification via PlantNet summary
Most likely match: Zingiber officinale Roscoe

So far the most delightful suggestion! Time will have to tell.

There must be a not quite small underground structure to the plant, like a tuber, or corm, or something similar. If you can take it out of the soil, you may have better chances at identification.

Yea, I’m very tempted to dig it out since I probably don’t want it anyway. Might do that tomorrow.

Bamboo?

Doubtful, not at all common around here so I would be very surprised if it had flown several kilometres to land in my garden bed and nowhere else.
