I would like to find out what plant this is. I kind of like it, it grows like a weed here in Oregon, has huge leaves and grows rapidly.

Thanks!

hi Growin,

Thanks! That was an incredibly fast response, and yes that looks like the plant I have!

This is my first question posted to DG, and I am impressed!!!

Way to go Growin! 60 seconds has set the bar pretty high for plant ID elapsed time. You have the official NW Forum Plant ID Crown- prepare to defend it- there are some very savvy gardeners out here.

LOL, Oh shucks, t'aint nuthin'. I'm sure I've gotta run for my money on the speed ID.

Glad I could help and welcome aboard essentialplanet!

Check out this Gunnera inflorescence I caught today while helping someone move to a new house.

Is that Paulownia tomentosa that super fast growing tree?

Yes, a seedling can go to 10-15' in first season. In the east they are considered an invasive species. Sounds like they may be taking root in the PNW.
