Jack in the Pulpit

Yesterday, Norris went on a fire fighting mission. While there, one of the other RCFD members commented on the Jack-in-the-Pulpit he saw at the home, saying they are native but not all that common. At the mention, Cheryl remembered seeing one earlier in the day in our yard. If you click for the closer view, you can see "Jack" inside the pulpit in this photo.

 Not too certain about the lighting, we took another shot from above - in this one you can see what looks like the three leaves of a smaller Jack-in-the-Pulpit just below the leaves of the plant we pictured above.

 

These are located just on the edge of the wildflower meadow, more or less hidden behind the shrubs planted last fall along the curved stairway.
