Question
This little group of plants grows in one spot in my yard (wooded) in Canton, MA. It hasn't spread like poison ivy, but I haven't seen them flower like trillium. The biggest is about 4 inches tall. Three leaves, red stem. Do you know what it is? Thanks!
Answer
Dear JayneM, your plant is Arisaema triphyllum (Jack-in-the-pulpit). This is a native member of the Araceae (arum family). The flowering plants are really interesting to view (you can see pictures on the Go Botany website). Best wishes.
