Question
Hi! I found these interesting flowers growing mainly under the trees in the shade or in between rocks. There are only 1-2 leaves per flower. Would you be able to tell me what these plant is? Thank you!
Answer
Dear SeanScott, it looks like you have photographed Arisarum vulgare (friar's cowl), a member of the arum family that is native to Europe and northern Africa. Was this a species that you found growing wild in New England? If so, I would like to discuss your find with you as this species hasn't been collected in the wild in this region. I can be reached at ahaines@newenglandwild.org, thank you.
