Re: revised inquiry re: coltsfoot Yes, it is a Petasites or coltsfoot (and possibly Petasites frigidus) -- is this from a native plants nursery or wild collected seed?
thanks all for replying trees, shrubs and flowers of bc by cp lyons i thought it was petasites speciosa, also he called it butterbur but i needed confirmation which you have now supplied the p.frigida i now see here in the book it is coast to rockies/alpine variety so it is then not the medicinal variety i hoped for i found it growing profusely by a waterfall inland but somewhat near the chillwack river does it have any special properties that you may know of? thanks very much again
