The bloom is so unique. I had to get into the most uncomfortable position to snap this picture.

Well, it turned out very nice. I was on my knees and elbows to take a shot of some daffs, got my sweatshirt muddy and the picture was too fuzzy to post.
My JIP are not up at all yet. and they are not striped. Very
Thanks for the post.

Hey David - Check out the pix of my A. ringens, it looks a lot like your photo. I'm pretty sure the one you have there is A. ringens. The triphyllum bloom looks quite a bit different. You can do a Google search to see what that one looks like.
In my opinion, EVERY single arisaema is gorgeous, they are such amazing plants. I have some seedlings for you at the plant trade in May

Is there are more common name these plants are referred to?

Karyn - The are commonly known as jack-in-the-pulpit. There are a couple of natives to the eastern U.S., many originate from Asia. Some specialty or mail-order nurseries carry them, if you do a google search you should be able to find some.

Thanks Andi - I did a quick search on ebay and discovered I own a 'jack-in-the-pulpit' style vase
along with the vases I was pleased to find quite a few different varieties of these plants. Im excited!! I bought my first home in December and am finally able to make it MY garden. Lot's of shade here too - so shade plants are my new best friends!!!
I think I may have had a plant similar to these before. I dug it up out of a friends yard and it would come back every winter. I thought of it as a Calla relative but now I'm thinking it was a mix between a Calla and this 'Jack-in-the-pulpit'.
