Question
I found this beautiful flower in my yard close to wetland. Resembles a Spath or Calla Lilly. Can you identify this photo. Dracut, MA
Answer
Dear Gail, the plant is Arisaema triphyllum (Jack-in-the-pulpit). It belongs to the same family as calla-lily (the arum family, Araceae). In this case, the spathe if striped and fluted, rather than plane and white. Best wishes.
