    Arum purpureospathum?

    Maybe one that @nutcutlet knows.

    Maybe this.


    Arum palaestinum.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border

    Thanks,  not too sure that it fits the bill but Arum is a good resemblance, could be a different variety?

    The most commonly seen of that type is Dracunculus vulgaris


    In the sticks near Peterborough

    That’s what I was trying to remember @nutcutlet … I was relying on you 😉 👍

    I've got far too m any of those, the odd one makes a dramatic feature but they're all falling over and look a mess

    Shame our garden is so dry … otherwise I know my OH would take one off your hands. We’re trying to restrict our watering to veg and a few specials in containers … the farm nearby from where Anglian Water extract the water for our area has now entered a ‘Cone of Depression’ and streams that normall gave at least some flowing water through the year have run dry. There’s been a lot of new homes built south of norwich in the last couple of years. 😧

    dry? we know about dry here but it's shaded. Have you got a shady place?

    Not really since we had the ash tree pollarded … the garden faces southeast so the part nearest the house gets a bit of shade in the late afternoon/evening … but not a lot. 

    There is the Shady Bank but that’s more than full and it’s behind the pond so we can’t really get at it.
