This morning, I saw the coolest plant, Arisaema sikokianum! It is
a Japanese/Chinese (depending on what you read)
Jack-in-the-Pulpit. The pitcher is practically black on the
outside, while the interior spadix is pure white. It is just
striking. I am about to go back and buy one (all I can afford)
now that I have done some research and ascertained they will
survive in zone 5.
This site gives you some idea of how beautiful this plant is:

For those of you near Cambridge, Massachusetts, they are at
Pemberton Gardens in the shade section. Just don't buy them all
ere I get there.
