I found what appears to be a some sort of large evergreen herbaceous
plant or possibly a shrub with long stems buried under a thicket of
brambles and ivy. I took a photo showing what looks like dried up
flowers at the end of a side shoot. Having cut all the main stems back I
notice that near the crown the stems are 1 cm thick and coloured mainly
red but also flushed with yellow. Anyone know what this plant might be?
