    Another id needed please. This is growing in a Canadian bog, it looks like Arum to me, but what do you think? :)

    Looks like Italian Arum Sheal, quite big compared to our native one.

        I've got a feeling that it's Lysichiton [American Skunk Cabbage], Sheal. I've got a large one in my pond and it always produces a yellow spathe before the leaves.:snork:
