Dragon - Viper's - Sit Spot - June 22, 2020

Green Dragon

arisème dragon

(Arisaema dracontium)

Thanks to Bill Lamond

for telling me about this plant.

He found it blooming 2 weeks ago

but I did not go the day he told me

and then I forgot. (How could I?)

I think I have seen this plant in bloom

one time and in seed one time; however,

my records only show the time in seed,

June 26th, 2002, near Binbrook, Ontario.

This one is just less than 1 km

from where I live.

It is listed as s3 or rare in our area.

Yes, it is going to seed now.
