Jack in the Pulpit
Be careful not to eat these - they're poisonous.

My jack-i-n-the-backyard-pulpit have not reached this stge of development yet- they are still at mere leafing our ste in chilly nb
jeez, never type when it's late or when you're drunk
i mean...
the J-entre-Pulpite are at leafing out stage in NB, just now, no blossoms yet
we are weeks (years, millenia) behind.
A Jack arrived in my backyard a few year's ago. Last year, Jill showed up...she's much smaller.
I'll have to get you to show me how to take a pic that captures the detail like this.
yer neighbour
hey sue,
i think Jack in the pulpit and his cousin the "ladyslipper" are the only real boys of the flower world-
all the other flowers seem more like jills (in my book)
This photo was taken about a week ago.
Some now have a more pronounced red colour inside.
