It looks like a Bergenia, Clematisa.

That's it!!! Lol.... Now you say it I remember, thanks Spritzhenry.

You're welcome. :-)))))

I also know it as 'elephants ears'!!!!

We call 'em "pig squeak", here!

i think that in the UK its common name is 'Elephants' Ears'...Tug - why "Pig squeak"??? lol.

Pig squeak? Thanks all!

Supposedly, if you rub a leaf, the top and bottom layers separate, and you can blow through the two membranes to make a loud squealing noise. I myself have managed everything but the squeal--maybe it's like learning to whistle! Imagine them being grown commercially for the musical instrument industry, like clarinet reeds! : D

LOL....We could all make a fortune from the ones we already have! I don't think I'll try it, though. ;-)
