Just been out to the shed, first time for a month, and I've found what I think is a rare plant. It has?

Question

massive retractable leaves in pretty paterns, 5' metalic stem and large roots which have spread to an old carpet, kept damp by a roof leak. What shall I name it. Sorry I'm not very good at pictures.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 6

Answer 7

Yes, I know this plant, mine is on the patio, its named Parasolypicticus vulgaris, its a member of the Umbrellacii patiollii family. Plant in full sun, no watering or feed required. Quite a no problem plant really, doesnt like wind though.

Answer 8

No idea. Retractable leaves? That sure is a rare plant.

Perhaps you could put it in a pot, then you have a 'pot' plant!
