Hi all
Does anybody have any info on this plant as just been given it.
Looking on google doesn't bring up much as far as I can see so if
anybody has some idea's to the proper keywords or a link would be
appreciated.
The only link to a picture I could find
http://www.worldofstock.com/closeups/NPF1034.php is definitly the
plant I have been given.
I have various plant books but cannot seem to find it ,maybe because
it comes from outside of UK or there is another name etc.
Thanks for your replies.

Is that the same as bear's breeches? (acanthus mollis or acanthus
spinosus; not sureof the difference as I've never grown them) . The
leaves look similar. Most "googles" for it bring up the flowers.
