Ohhhhh, I just bought a little plant like that last year, this year there were about 10 flowers in it. Still a long way to go to get anywhere near yours.
Nice picture, thanks.

Yes, or we call it "Fancy Dock Leaves".

It does not mind shade and likes it dampish. Otherwise it is a fairly tough plant with few problems.
