It's growing up near Big Bear Lake, northeast of Los Angeles. Absolutely no clue on what this is.

Justin--

Not a Canna, but I'm not sue of its ID. Probably a dicot, rather than a monocot (like Canna).

A Flora of Southern California by Phillip Munz is still probably the best text for ID'ing SoCal natives. Unfortunately, I don't have my copy with me, or I'd do a little more checking for you. Sorry...

Maybe a Veratrum species?

Diego--

Way to go on your first post!

Indeed, it is Veratrum californicum in Liliaceae:

We always knew this as skunk cabbage... good to know the botanical name.
