My grandfather used to grow sunflowers, he once grew some in the front garden which was only about six foot by four foot. They grew to about 10 ft high. The most amazing thing was that no one touched them and they were allowed to grow without molestation. I just can't imagine that happening today.

Hi June
Its probably just a common English Lizard and harmless, its probably more scared of you than you are of it. You can read about them here.

You see, those of us that were born in a concrete jungle are not used to coming face to face with nature.

It looks to me like a cross between an Artichoke and a Palm.
I'll come back to you if I find anything that matches.

I missed this post until now. Well? Has anyone else ever seen one, I certainly haven't noticed any.
I have a stem with no flower at all, something bit it off when the plant was only 18" high, I don't suppose it will grow much now.

Mentioning sunflowers has made me think. The other day I passed a house where the front garden was full of them. Unusually I never had a camera with me, now I can't remember where it was. But if I pass by again I will get a snap.
