Anybody have an idea what this plant is

Might not be english

Looks like an upturned rhubarb

 

 

Then the smallest thing in the park turned up (with the exception of a fleeting glance of a yellow flutterbye)

 

 

Abstractish leaf ?

Hi Fuzzy its a Gunnera (Not sure if thats the right spelling). Cracking shot BTW

lovely images fuzzy...I'm going with terry on the id..

[fuzzyedges]

Thanks for the ID just googled it

Wasnt far off the mark as I thought as its other name appears to be giant rhubarb

The stalks can be eaten?

So here is to Brazilian gunnera marmalade (think it will catch on)

There are some giant plants like the first one growing near where we stay in Wales and I always wondered what they were.
My favourite is the dog looking out from the plants.
