Thanks Marguerite. You learn something new everyday. I think I'll be taking some of these with me (if and when we sell and move again) because they are rather cute.

I googled fo Arisaema and found at least 30 different species, but the vulgaris was not mentioned. Indeed you were right saying it looks like a snake as they are often called Cobra lilies. They are native to Africa and Asia and also found in North America. So there you have it, you have something unique there. Most of them look fantastic.

The photo above is a flower in full bloom. They don't open up anymore than that. It looks nice when there are a few flowering because it's just like little snake heads nodding in amongst the foliage.

It reminds me of the jug orchid a native wildflower in WA. Wait till it opens, lol.

I had my mother around today to look at the plant Blodyn and she say's they're Arisaema vulgaris. She didn't know if they have a common name or not though. Hope that helps some what. :)

I'm not sure yet to tell the truth. They started coming up around the garden tap in the front yard and the flowers reminded me of little snake heads. So I've nicknamed them Cobra lilies until I can find it in a book.
