Wife's out so I can't ask, but she seems to be cultivating a triffid... Looks a bit like a giant hogweed, about 4 ft tall and the stem is a couple of inches across at the base. But I think the leaves are wrong?

Any ideas??

Did it appear since the Northern Lights a few weeks ago?

Note it's location, if it moves.....move.


If not, one of these? - https://jenikirbyhistory.getarchive.net/media/2011...

Wild angelica according to an app.

Which would explain the bulky stem.

Not a giant hogweed. This is one I spotted yesterday, must have been 7 feet tall

That sounds about right, ta. It's a lot bigger than the angelica she's planted elsewhere though.
