Giant Rhubarb......

.....or Gunera to give it its proper name............This will grow over the next few months into a giant sized plant with huge leaves you can stand under......this particular valley in Heligan gardens has an absolute forest of them !

@wakelys I know....they die right back every winter.......then pop up and just grow.....and grow.....:)

@blueberry1222 You are so right......this part of Heligan gardens is called 'the jungle' with a rope bridge and all !!!
