Strange Plants

It is familiar, might come to me in the next 24 hours lol

The second looks like Arisaema... Surrey and Meanie will know.

The first one looks really familiar to me...

Could it be some kind of plantain?

Thanks for trying. Such large plants too. The first one I couldnt make out if it was seed cases after flowering, or buds. There was a lot of it, and some had been cut down, which makes me think it was going over. It does look a bit like a plantain I suppose Karen. They probably both have very long unpronouncable names !!

The second one I think is the one they call the 'mouse-tail' arisaema, I used to have it but it spreads like mad, so it had to go!

Wow..those are amazing !

Thanks Jaykaty, I expect you are right.

Certainly quite a talking point TT.

the first looks like Lysichiton americanus or skunk cabbage seed head from after they flowered, the second is an arisaema i don't know which sort as i don't grow them but Meanie would know..

Thank you S/L. Yes it could be couldnt it.

Surrylad is correct with the first and the second is probablt Arisaema jacquemontii. We grow a lot of arisaema and encourage them to spread, Jaykaty.

Many thanks Bulba

Sorry I can't name them but they look interesting :o)

The first is definitely lysichiton. I know they grow both A. americanus (with yellow flowers) and A. camtschatensis (with white flowers) plus the hybrid of the two (with cream flowers)

Thank you Andrew, I thought they were both interesting. Not that I want to grow them mind, but its nice to know what they are.

Thanks Hywel
