Arisarum vulgare

In on previous post I needed help to identify this bulb that I have seen around and collected from open fields or roads.

Well, Liz from PlantPostings, was right and helped me to name this rhizome, it is Arisarum vulgare, a a herbaceous and perennial lnative to Europe and very much spread in the Mediterraneum in the winter months.


They have a very sculptural shape and look


 I used them as floral arrangements althought they last very few days.

It is lovely, is it also an aroid?

Andrea, this plant was new for me, but I have done some research and it appears it is not from the same family

A very pretty look at this plant. I like it in the arrangement too. Arum has such great form.
