Sorry, not Gunnera hamiltonii, but very very close. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunnera_hamiltonii http://www.bethchattoshop.co.uk/cgi...www.bethchattoshop.co.uk/shop/7/344/index.htm I posted this just after wcutler's stumper on Gunnera, which is why I thought it would be an easy one.

Gunnera flavida it is. With the beautiful translucent yellow fruits. Thanks pierrot for solving the stumper.
Thanks for posting that, Silver surfer. It's really interesting seeing the fruit spikes. Maybe I would recognize one of the little guys (we were calling them "runner unners" or something like that), but I'm not at all sure of that. And I'm just talking about recognizing that they're Gunnera, never mind which genus. This thread should help anyway.
Copied from other thread.... Years ago we went round a very good small nursery and found this dear creeping wee plant called Unnera prorepens. We asked about it... only to be told they had missed the G from the label ... it was Gunnera prorepens! Duh! http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Gun...w=1276&bih=537 Since then we have always called them all Unners!
