It inhabits in North America. One can enjoy these attractive plants in the woods of Nova Scotia to Florida and west to Minnesota and Illinois.
Jack in the pulpits are considered to be one of the oddest flowering plants in Wildwood. The flower’s green or purple brown hooded floral leaves aim to defend blooms gathered in clusters on a club-resembling stem. Thus, it looks like an old-fashioned covered pulpit. Botanists call the minister a spadix, but his pulpit is named the spathe.
The striped spathe can be found in maroon to green and white to green colors. At the end of summer season the spathe drops off bearing green berries, turning reddish with the fall’s coming.
Jack in the pulpit flowering time is the whole fall season.
