    • Defo acanthus, envious as mine not flowering yet. Did you know if you strip bottom of stem it is a great cut flower and last ages!

    Full name is Acanthus mollis - native of S & SW Europe and NW Africa .  The snails will thank you for growing this beautiful plant.

    Are you sure that's mollis Pat, the leaves look a bit pointy.
