#Arisaema triphyllum, Jack-in-the-pulpit.
#garden #gardening #flowers #horticulture #photography #bloomscrolling #botany

Four colour studies of the flower and emerging leaf of a young jack-in-the-pulpit. All on stark white background. The spadix is the reproductive part of the plant, visible here as the pale green cylindrical object standing up in the middle of the flower (which is the male part of the inflorescence, the female flowers are near the base). The spathe is the modified leaf-like structure the surrounds it and folds over the top like a cap to keep the rain off, pale green at the base darkening to deep green and reddish at the cap part, with very pale green ribs running from just above the base to the very tip. There are water droplets on the cap. In a couple of the shots there is also an emergent leaf visible, with the three leaflets in the latin name just beginning to unfurl. It also has raindrops on it.
