Plant ID help please

14 years ago

I cannot recall what this is- and can't find the tag. I seem to remember that this would be a temporary spot for it, leading me to think it might get large. It is in moist soil in light shade. Can anyone help?

Here is a link that might be useful: What is this?

Looks like a Heracleum. If not one of these then probably another large umbellifer.

Ah, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm thinking maybe it is Heracleum lanatum. I'll keep my eye on it.

i think if you are taking a pic of a "giant hogweed" maybe you would find a specimen bigger than two ball point pens wide.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THAT HOGWEED, MIGHT BE THREE PENS BIG ONE DAY!
