Jack is Back!

We are lucky to have a Jack-in-the-Pulpit plant (Arisaema triphyllum) growing at the edge of our forest. Each year we look forward to its appearance. 

Jack in the Pulpit plants are woodland perennials that grow to about 24 inches in height, have two large leaves that initially stand above the blossom which grows on its own stalk.  Once the flower ripens it produce berries/seeds that grow on the flower stalk and eventually turn red.
