Jack in the Pulpit
Guildwood Park. June 1, 2002.
The Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum) is one of the more
unusual flowers in the Ontario woods.
Before this particular walk in Guildwood Park, I never really noticed
the flower before.
I had always falsely identified the three-leaved plant as poison ivy,
which is of course best avoided.
But this time, while focusing on another wild-flower nearby, I happened to
spot the distinctive flower underneath the three leaves.
I then was able to recognize more of the flowers elsewhere in the park.
Other wildflowers can be found at
Trilliums.
