Coming back from the Sea-Pac radio convention, I passed through Port Townsend and there, saw an amazing plant - huge leaves and a gorgeous complex blossom. It was growing quite happily in a galvanized metal stock tank.
None of the staff knew what it was so yesterday, I found the place's website and emailed. Got a nice reply and what I was looking at was a Gunnera tinctoria.
Now to track down a source - I have a perfect spot near the house for it. Only wish is that Horse and Mule do not find it tasty...
