Jack (or Jill) -in-the-pulpits (Arisaema triphyllum) are pollinated by fungus gnats that fall into the flower and can escape through a hole in the flower of males but not the females, this is a rare Femme-fetal of the plant world (learn more here). To live up to its name, Jack-in-the-pulpits are also poisonous to humans but when cooked the bulbs (Indian turnip) can be eaten or ground into flour to be used medicinally relieving colds, fevers, and snake bites. While found in some regions of the maritimes and south western Quebec, this beautiful plant is mostly found in South parts of Eastern and Central Ontario - make sure to look under it's large leaves so you do not miss it in the late spring!
