I am interested in knowing what it is. The paper stick on tag says Pinell? Ped?????

It looks kind of like a Green Dragon, and there appears to be a baby that looks like a 3 leaf Jack. I have not disturbed it yet from its pot, so I don't know if it is growing from a bulb, or what?

Can anyone identify this plant...and was it brought for me...or someone else in particular...or just to be shared?

Your help is appreciated. I'd like to know how to care for it, or if I need to send it on to someone.

good looking baby!

talk to you soon,

Theyare very healthy looking, and have that fleshy feel to the leaves, and the leaf pattern looks just like an Arisaema dracontium...aka Green Dragon. I just fear they may have been meant for someone else.

Hopefully someone will come forward and say what they are, or maybe someone claim them. In the meantime, I will hold off planting them as they are doing well in their container and soil for the time being.

I wonder if they might be from Marcia, and it appears she is still out of commission computer wise.

Seems we are going to have some better temps here today with an expected high of just 83 and 61 tonight. Whoo-hoo...good sleeping weather.

Here is what she said about it.

It is Pinellia pedatisecta, common name is Green Dragon. It looks very like arisaema green dragon, but Pinellia can approach being invasive. It hasn't been too much for me because I have it in a crowded area with crinum & spider lilies. It blooms several times a season so can produce lots of seeds. It can handle sun or shade, but I suspect that if it were in a really good spot it could really spread, so be careful of it. It is not picky on growing conditions. I got this originally somehow in a package of Dahlia tubers I bought. When it first came up I thought what odd looking dahlia. I planted in full sun of course, then this long spathe came up & I decided it wasn't a dahlia. I've had it about 5-6 years, hasn't been a real problem for me as I said, but I bet it could be. I tried to warn everyone I gave one to, I know I gave one to Marcia with the warning. The baby in the pot is a seedling, "might" bloom this year, they don't take nearly as long to mature as jacks. If you don't want to worry about invasive plants, toss it or trade it.

It's a keeper! I can't imagine it blooming several times a season...gotta see this! I'll be careful that it doesn't escape into my native front yard woods plantings...

Thanks Nancy!
