What be this? numero 3

[mrdinkle]

OK, completely different slant here. I was down west wales (ceridigion) at the weekend and down by the sea at penbryn in the forest walk I saw this. Snapped it as I did not know what it might be.

Any ideas there were a few and they looked kinda cool.

Arum lilly (lords and ladies)

What a lovely one that is! They have bright red berries in the autumn- poisonous though, beware!

I agree. It's also known as Jack-in-the-pulpit and there is a long spath (sp?) in the centre of what looks like the old fashioned lidded pulpit. The family call me the Ministry of Silly Names - but I love the old folk names for things - even though I often need to use the latin as Himself is a botanist by persuasion.

Brilliant - was wondering! Thank you very much!
