Eh?

I can see the pic, it's in the OP, after the text.

Edit to add: But that for me it is displaying rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Unless the plant is growing out of an earth wall....

Actaea Racemosa according to my app Plantnet (free version).

Before you said it had no flowers, I'd have said it was Korean angelica (gigas). Purple stems, dies back obediently every year, grows to five or six feet. But according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelica_gigas it wants full sun, or partial shade at most. Of course, that might explain why yours has no flowers?........ ;)

Wow! I need that app!

Thank you.

I think....... wrong colour (green) and wrong continent of origin (North America). Mrs RVF is insistent about it's East Asian origin. I will search again now. Perhaps there is a red/purple version of it.

If you go on Plantnet it does show images of all the suggestions.

A quick google suggests that it's normally a biennial that dies after flowering. But (aha!) if its flowers are cut off it will go on indefinitely. The same would apply, presumably, if they simply failed to turn up?

There are purple varieties, including a very popular one called purpurea, but that's American, not Korean. Curses, back to the drawing board..... :|

Seeking plant identification of... many things left by the PO who had exotic tastes but never labelled anything... I tried Plantid which is OK but there is a weekly upload limit... then Toolpie which is not very good, has a strong slant towards exotic herbs... then Pl@ntnet which is excellent.

I am uploading pics to the computer. I see there are other options if using a smartphone.

any recomendations for a plant ID site that works with old smartphones?

i have my sons old Samsung galaxy 3 which it seems is too old for many of the 'apps' that show when in 'app store'??
