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!
