Gunnera Manicata has come through a really hard winter (around minus 20 Celcius) without any protection, and is showing a start on its journey to the stars :

Wow, isn't amazing how beautiful the garden looks after a long, hard winter?  The dead, brown vegetation that transforms into green shoots and beautiful blooms!  Can't wait to see a pic of that gunnera in a month.... :)
