Jack-In-The-Pulpit
Jack-In-The-Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum)
In bloom April 23 - June 6.
This plant is very easy to remember. Its little flowers are on
the surface of a single fleshy spike, or spadix, that is
surrounded by a leafy green sheath which overtops the spadix. The
spadix and sheath resemble the roofed pulpit sometimes found in
European churches and cathedrals. On a separate stalk are three
leaves.
