April and May 2017 Catch up

Once it had started to emerge from its Winter quiet time the gunnera, as usual, put on a spurt of growth. There was however a couple of set backs with a heavy frost (and snow!) in late April which knocked it back a lot - many young leaves, and the flowers, were caught since they are so tender. In late May the plant began to catch up. Here's a selection of pics during that period.
