Gunnera

John spotted these beauties in the boggy area a few days ago, this was taken this morning and looking good despite the weather.

Extra:
The sweet peas are hanging on in the cold hail showers.

From the Internet:
Gunnera may be evergreen or herbaceous rhizomatous perennials, and range from small creeping plants to very large with huge leaves. The flowers are small, borne in narrow panicles or spikes and may be followed by small berry-like fruits. It’s a robust herbaceous perennial, forming a spreading clump of lobed, rounded, rough-textured leaves with spiny stems 1-2m in width. Tiny red-brown flowers are borne in erect panicles to 1m in height
