    Looks a bit like gunnera.

    Japanese Anemone maybe?

    I'd guess some sort of begonia, but I'm afraid that's the best I can do!

    I don't think  the leaves are right for Gunnera, they are too small. Maybe more like Japanese Anemone.

    I'm for begonia. Easy to tell if you dig down a bit and find a corm. If not, I am wrong.

  • My money's on Japanese anemones.  If that's what it is, it self-seeds and spreads like crazy. These are a few roots I dug up and potted on for 'sharing' - they are hardy as nails, even the pots in this photo that look dead are quietly producing little leaf buds. (These are Konigin Charlotte.  Yours are more wrinkly when they emerge which may be a different variety.)
    If it is Japanese Anemone, plant them and expect them to grow to about 3-4' and provide you with flowers through till November, lucky you!

    Looks like a gunnera to me .Are the leaves rough?

    Growth habit looks wrong for Jap Anem and Gunnera - foliage certainly doesn't look right fo J.A.
    I don't grow begonias, but you can clearly see a rhizome/tuber of some kind in the top pot in the first pic.  
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Me too.  Asymmetrical leaves are typical for begonias.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
