It is labeled Arisaema speciosum. The leaves are cool!

It is purple near the soil line. It is hard to take a picture of since it is hidden by the leaves. I will try.

Here is the flower. It is old and rather spent.

It's grown a lot since I was there and saw it a couple of weeks ago. It's sure one to catch your attention!

:cool:

Before I enlarged it, I thought it was large enough to put a chair behind and enjoy the coolness! Looks like a little hut! :D Neat!
