Arisaema fargesii - Chinese Dragron Arum (Jack in the Pulpit)
		Arisaema fargesii in a rare shot at right > On the right, a rare shot of a 'Jack-in-the-Pulpit' apparently 'preaching' to a spellbound congregation of Hostas and none appeared to be sleeping, as far as we could tell, and the youngsters weren't squirming... Wow! :-)
When you say 'Tripartate' leaves when describing an Arisaema, most avid gardeners yawn, thinking of our native, which also has 'three-part' leaves. But the HUGE 3-part leaves of Arisaema fargesii are stunning, particularly in the fall when they turn butter yellow. Note, young plants only have 1 part or leaflet of their eventual three and look not a single bit like an Arisaema! Note the long 'drip tip' on the spathe in the center photo -- it's is so lovely and graceful!
