Found at a friend's brother's house in western Washington state, US, but I'm sure it's not from here. We're USDA zone 8b, in case anyone wants to know.

    Gunnera genus

    These plants fix nitrogen with the help of cyanobacteria in the genus Nostoc

    Gunnera tinctoria, nalca or “giant rhubarb”.

    Awesome, thanks everyone, gunnera it is! It’s only about 18″/.5 meter tall–I wonder if it would get a lot bigger in the ground?

    There’s one here in Port Townsend, WA in Chetzemoka park and it gets HUGE.

    Whoa what a unique species. Thanks for sharing

  6. Can I have the seeds? Haha. My one in the UK was a baby and didn’t make it now I can’t buy it.
