darmera peltata/ indian rubarb plant or umbrella

Mmm, that's pretty :-)

thanx louise, we sometimes dont notice how pretty till we take a close-up shot :o)

Lovely pic Sandra :o)

thanx Terra it was a lovely surprise to see this morning ;o))

How big is that flower cluster ?

sorry Terra went away to make a lasgne, lol, i would say as round as a ping pong ball ;o)) maybe slightly smaller

Seems to be a nice plant :o)

i got it for the leaves Terra its quite large and the fact it went redish in autumn, so was surprised to see a flower stem, :o)

Looks a very pretty flower and the red leaves will be an added bonus!

thanx carole hope they do get chance to turn before winter :o)

loving this one ..havent herd of it before...

thanx sandra i just came across it in my local nurseries, i likes the large leaves :o)

another one for my wish list

i`ll remember that if it gets bigger sandra :o)

;-))

Lovely Sandra and usually spring flowering think it related to saxifrage family .. will keep a look out for it as supposed to like damp areas should be nice by pond .

its next to my water feature ray, so does keep quite damp with the spray, and your right its spring flowering, not complaining though :o)

This is beautiful San, really like this.... added to that ever increasing wish list...

thankyou ang,, it was a surprise to see a flower stem, glad i bourght it now :o))

it's really very nice, where did you get if from?

from my local nursery here where i live, im hoping it gets alot bigger then i can share it with fellow goy`s, being my first year its not been possible to split things as small, i hadnt seen this plant before i spotted it at nursery but im sure it can be found,:o)

it's a new one to me, i'll have to check out ebay for that one.... once postal strikes stop that is... if they ever do... :-S

lol ang.. not been to bad here my son got a parcel off ebay within 2 days shock horror hehe just put name in search but not come up, strange that was the name on tag when i got it unless nursery owner spelt it incorrect

Your welcome or just type into brower image of darmera peltata plant

Lovely picture Sanbaz, I had this growing in a pot in my pond margin, but someone, mentioning no names, knocked it into the pond :-( when he was cleaning pond filter, haven't seen it since, ponds around 7ft deep so certainly not going in to find it.

what a shame simbad, think i would have sent him in after it lol, i love this plant, so glad i got it now

Was tempted Sanbaz, it is a gorgeous plant bought mine from a local garden centre haven't seen one since, mine always flowered in spring think the warm weathers got everything confused.

yes got my local in our village nursery, and should flower in spring before leaves then leaves turn red in autumn, as you can see this has a mind of its own lol
