You know your rhubarb mate!

It’s a Triffid

Looks like a really tatty echium pininana.

Species within the genus?

I knew I was going to see wild rhubarb, but I had no idea it would look like that. It came across as rather unusual.

The answer is Tatton Park in Cheshire, not so far from Warrington.

You aren’t a gardener at Kew are you?

I am retired John however, the only schooling I ever actually had was floriculture and horticulture, three year course, had to memorise 50 Latin names each week in the last year as part of our plant-indent test on Fridays, I always had an interest in plants Kew is very close, I get in a few times a year.

The family used to go there when I was a kid.
I just remember how picturesque it was and that flowers were everywhere.

I had never been before even though I lived in Manchester for 20 years.

Chesil Beach.

I dont think that is Chesil Beach. But dont know where it is though.
