Definitely sounds like an aroid of some descripion. If the cream object has a green surround to it, then it could well be Arum maculatum, the native Lords and Ladies or Cuckoo Pint or 15 other common names.

It sounds as though it could be a member of the Arum family. Have you got a plant book? Look up Arum and see what you find. Some of them are quite spectacular.
