A little peekypoo inside the pulpit! A hand is lifting the upper hood of the spathe tube to reveal the spadix inflorescence. The spadix is dark purple and the throat of the spathe tube is green and purple striped. It all seems extremely sexual, which I suppose makes sense for a flower.

I was out removing himalayan balsam from the woods, and who did I find but these handsome little friends! Jacks and their associated pulpits!
I think they'll be a lot happier now without all that shade from the invasives. If I can keep the balsam and garlic mustard away, I bet these will absolutely pop off next spring. Gotta fuck up the daylillies that are crowding them out too.
