looks to me like what we call "Petit Prêcheur" in French, or "Jack in the

Pulpit" or "Indian Turnip" in English. One of the scientific names would
be "Arisema Atrorubens" [(Aiton) Blume], but yours looks white

Apparently /Arisaema atrorubens/ is only dubiously distinct from the better
known /Arisaema triphyllum/.

There are some 150 /Arisaema/ species (Mabberley 2002), ranging through
E.Africa-Arabia-Asia-N.America-Mexico
The (striped) spathe varies in color, shades of purple-pink-green-white

A nice spectacular one
