What is this?
Currently working in Radcliffe - my colleague came back with this
picture showing these huge leaves and rubbarb stems. Lots of people say that they know what it is but cannot come up with a name. I've absolutely no idea - and I've searched. I'm not good with riverside/bog plants - these are in deep shade and very soggy soil. TIA http://cjoint.com/?fzpLHmelu7 |

But the giant hogweed has by far the sexiest umbels IMHO - like champagne glasses :-) .. |

I'm so so glad my colleagues didn't try to pick some up. They know how much I love umbels flowers too ... Here's one flower from another picture they took. http://cjoint.com/?fArpMftvJE But the giant hogweed has by far the sexiest umbels IMHO - like champagne glasses :-) Funny how the things one really wish to have are usually very hard or dangerous to get ) |
