I knew there was a pink :-), grew these from seed ended up with 2 creamy /white and 1 pink they look so good this year at last, think they've taken 6 years though :-)

It certainly was Carole the leaves are huge!!!!!
Think it was the macrorhizum I sent wasn't it? remember I have them growing along the edge of a border and got mixed up with the colours, so they'll either be pink or white the pinks flowering now and this time of year the leaves are a lighter green than the white, if that helps:-), the white flowers a week or two later, hope you got some of each :-)

Lucky you Dawn bet thats quite a sight!!!!, I was hoping these would all be pink but they do look quite nice together and the flowers seem to last for ages.

The white are nice too though. I like the fact that they dont mind the frost as much as Gunnera too. Yes, really pleased with all mine this year, guess they thrived on all that rain.
