Question
This appeared in my sister's perennial garden, next to her irises and lupine. The blossom is as big as her foot. Thanks!
Answer
kerfuffle, the plant you have photographed is a species in arum family (Araceae). The red-purple structure is a bract called a spathe. This appears to be a member of the Arisaema genus (Jack-in-the-pulpit), which have compound leaves that fit the morphology of what you have pictured. Best wishes.
