Darmera peltata  Indian rhubarb

Indian rhubarb has tall pink flower spikes in mid spring followed by 1-2 feet wide leaves atop tall stalks.  Seen in the mountain stream beds of Northern California, it provides an almost tropical effect to the other wise woodland setting.  Usually grown in the shade, it will nonetheless do well in full sun where the leaves turn a bright red in fall.  The large rhizomes cling to rocks and dip their tails into the water, looking like green lobster tails.  Very hard to find in nurseries.
