We now have four different varieties of Jack-in-the-Pulpits.

This first, Arisaema triphyllum is the common type that is native to our area.

In the spring and summer we are treated to these neat looking flowers with a hood (known as the spathe) surrounding a thick central column (the spadix).

We have also purchased a few Asian varieties that are hardy to this area.  They have very dramatic pitchers and a couple even have unique "tongues" that make them truly amazing to grow.
