Arisaema triphyllum / Jack-in-the-pulpit

One of our more bizarre native perennials, jack-in-the-pulpit looks almost out of this world. “Jack” is a spongy, cylindrical spadix, cupped inside his “pulpit”, a large spathe. Grows best in a shady woodland garden with rich, moist soil. Forms bright red clusters of berries eaten by birds if pollinated.
