Devil's Club also has spiky stems, and the leaves have a similar shape. We saw lots of Devil's Club hiking in the Olympic NP rainforest with Pam and John.

It is Devil's Club. Laurel taught me this today. Ours didn't have leaves quite as big as yours yet, but they were beginning to blossom. Boy, do they have spikey stems.

Did you have one of the beach front sites? We've got a heat wave going over here with temps above 105 for the past few days and it continues for more days as well. Hard to believe there was snow and chain controls over Highway 80 a week ago! My mom loves fushias too. We had several in pots hanging in our backyard lathe house growing up :-) I think the reason you see so many foot paths going up is because people go down the dunes on kayaks and the like. We've had customers tell us it's quite popular. Nice twilight view as well!
