  • Question

    Hi, thanks so much for this site! I found this plant in the wooded area behind my house and I hope that you will be able to identify it. It's the only one back there that I can find. I live in the Saratoga area of New York. Kind regards, Robyn

    Answer

    Dear RobynP54, your plant is a fruiting individual of Arisaema triphyllum (Jack-in-the-pulpit). This is a native member of the Araceae that occurs primarily in forests and wetlands. Best wishes.
