I found this up the canyon in my home town of Idaho, back at my 10 year school reunion. Its a photo scanned in, but I had to share, it was enormous! About 5ft tall and wide!

Thank you. :-) This really was amazing. I searched for this plant for years before I discovered what it was. So enormous, and it was 90F and no water in the ravine at all. Coming from here, I'm always amazed seeing things thrive in conditions like that.
