This beautiful plant is beginning to send up shoots.

yes, Jacque, probably due to the flash going off on the camera! :-)

Chocolate Wing? I'll fly on over and check for chocolate flavour shall I? LOL! This is an interesting plant, never seen one before, is it prickly? How big does it grow and does it have flowers or just foliage?

I "discovered" this one right here on GOY, when Muddywellies posted a lovely close-ip leaf pic of this in March last year! You can find the pic quickly by going into my "Favourites" pics. It's the first pic on page 3.
Many Thanks for posting that pic, Muddy- ! :-)
Eventual hright is only c. 30", but this spreads very well. I know this, as a work colleague has it growing nearly all round her pond (and I searched for ages and bought mine!).
Muddywellies might say that this is "only a Rodgersia", but, for me, it is right "up there", as a most desirable plant.
