An American skunk-cabbage, Lysichiton americanus! Well named because it does emit a pretty unpleasant smell, but it grows here luxuriously, alongside the fast moving stream which runs through the gardens of Colonsay House. A spectacular plant to look at, but you wouldn't want it in a small garden. However, sited a very long way from your outside seating area, and its a winner!
Ah ha- wondered what these were called! Grow prolifically here!
