Typical pitcher-shaped jack-in-the-pulpit flowers, but with striking chocolate-purple coloring of the inside. Orange berries. Ours is just a second-year plants, so we haven't seen all this marvellous display yet... Even so, I like how the new growth emerges as a burgundy spear. One day after this photo was taken, the leaves were fully unfurled.

| jim webb, | Oct 03, 2005 | how can I purchase a few Sikokianum tubors.I have several colonies of the arisamae native to SW Va.(over a 100 plants) and would like to expand this to some of the other varieties.
My only plant seems to have disappeared. You should be able to find sources from several specialty mail-order suppliers. Have you tried Plant Delights Nursery? |
