Arisaema triphyllum aka Jack-In-The-Pulpit or Bog Onion! Very funky plant that came out early spring this year, got to see tons of it in the marshy bits of property at my grandparents cottage. The type of flower it has is particularly unique and is called a spadix, which is what flowers such as anthuriums and peace lilies are as well. The roots were traditionally peeled, cooked, and eaten by indigenous folks, however in their raw state they contain calcium oxalate crystals that can cause painful irritation when touched.

Blurry pics due to the thunderstorm I was running from, I'll replace them with better photos next time I see them.
