Hello, can anyone idenity this strange shoot with a cluster of red berries at the end? It appeared about a month ago, when the berries were green, then they turned red about a week ago. I saw about 5 or 6 of them in our local park yesterday but apart from that I've never seen them before.

t's Arum maculatum ... https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/wildflowers/lords-and-ladies ... a fascinating spring wildflower ... after flowering the leaves die down just leaving the berries for the autumn. They're toxic to us but valuable to wildlife.
