Ha Ha yes it's abit like a Triffid Opti  ;D  It first appeared in the autumn and until a couple of weeks ago it was half the size, and just had the dark green leaves at the bottom.  With all the rain it's suddenly shot up!!  :o  Looks like it might flower so I'll leave it and see what happens!  :)

If it moves .........and eats human flesh, then it's probably a triffid. Don't go in the garden after dark is my advice. :)

I know what it is but can't remember what it is called.... :-[ :-[ Had a good few of them in my garden in Hertford, but it spreads easily hence why some people call it a weed. Anything can be a weed, the wrong plant in the wrong place is a weed, whatever it is...... :D :D  It has a generic name, which when you look in the books a different plant is shown iirc In late summer you will hear little 'crack' sort of noises which is the plant throwing out it's seeds.............if I stop thinking about it I may remember it name... ::) ::)
