It’s my favorite time of year for #Minnesota wildflowers! Each spring, a swarm of Jack-in-the-pulpits pop up amongst the Virginia Waterleaf, Bloodroot, Canadian Wild Ginger, and other flora that inhabit our local moist woodland floors. By the end of the season, these Jack-in-the-pulpits will have bright red berries.

Jack-in-the-Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum). Like many members of the Arum family, this species contains calcium oxylate crystals, which if ingested cause swelling, burning and severe irritation of the digestive tract in humans.

Happy Tuesday.
I came across this bright green #monster in the garden with hundreds of eyes staring back at me.

It's actually the fruiting seed pods of #Arisaema taiwanense.

I'm hoping that the green fruits will ripen and turn yellow or red so I can harvest these quite rare seeds.

One of my loveliest garden plants is back in flower. She pops up extremely late, so always gives me the fear she hasn’t made it through the winter.

#Arisaema candidissimum, "Whitest Arum". It doesn't really have a standard English name (something something cobra-lily or jack-in-the-pulpit) but in Chinese it's 白苞南星 "White-bracted Southern Star".
