We have a winner. Vicki has correctly ID'd this as red-veined dock, Rumex sanguineus.

I have a couple of these, have always known them as bloody dock (as Barbara said). Don't like the flowers as much as I do the foliage, so I usually cut the flowers down.

Rumex... Blood Sorrel or Bloody Dock. The leaves are edible and nutritious. I bought Blood Sorrel and planted that in a planter in my garden. It's beautiful and has a bit of a tart taste. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumex
