Just had a look in my Wildflower Book and confirmed that it is Arum maculatum (Lords and Ladies) and not Arum italicum.

I have these all over the garden - I think I've given up trying to get rid of them.

Oh, I always thought is was A italicum.....I wonder what the difference is?

A.italicum looks more like Alocasia (veiny leaves) in the pictures I've seen. Apparently italicum flowers a little later too.

Thanks Bbz - I'm not familier with Alocasia, but I know there's a variety of A. italicum with silvery markings on the leaves. A. maculatum seems to have very variable purple markings on the leaves - I'm surprised nobody has tried to breed an interesting garden plant from it, trying to get some good patterning in those leaves.

What else?
See who else is growing Arum maculatum (Adders Root).
See who else has plants in genus Arum.

Oh is that what they are called. I have those but I do not know how they got there.
