Default I saw the coolest plant!

There's also the Italian Arum.

I'll look that up!


Look for Arum italicum - cultivar most often available is Arum italicum
'Pictum' or synonymously, 'Marmoratum' and is commonly called Lords and
Ladies. This cultivar has great patterning on the pointed foliage in white.
Not an uncommon plant and should be readily availble at good quality
nurseries in your area for a modest price. While both are members of the
Araceae family, arums and arisaemas are quite distinct in appearance - arums
bear a very strong resemblance to callas, to which they are very closely
related.

Be careful how you site Arum italicum - it will self seed readily and can be
borderline invasive.
