What is it.(red berries)

Anyone want to guess what plant name is the red berries belong to.

 

could it be pepperberry? I'm guessing after a google search on red berry clusters (and alleviating all the easy answers lol), so I'm probably wrong :( I'm going against it being a redcurrant because of the clusters, but the leaves suggest otherwise..... ahhh I dont know

 

The leaves have nothing to do with the plant that produced the red berries. And I would hope you would have this type of plant in your woods and cultured for shade garden.
Try again.

 

Does that suggest you know what this plant is already then? :wink:

 

Oh yes, I do know the plant. Just wondering if any of you did.

 

so essentially we're playing guessing games here then? what's the point of that in the identification area? that's not what this section was set up for is it?

 

Ok, if you all feel that way, this shall end then.

 

No its not.

It is:

Jack in the Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum)
Jack in the Pulpit is also known as Indian Turnip.

Plant Type: This is a herbaceous plant, it is a perennial which can reach 65cm in height (25inches).

Riverside-Just so you know for the future, it`s called fun.


Don`t be so serious.

 

I very much have a sense of humour thank you very much but this is one of the serious sections of the forum is it not? perhaps either posting in 'the muppet show' section or better wording in the OP wouldnt have gone amiss

 

Thank you Claire. I toyed with other sentences but went with the more passive approach.
I had thought simple curiousness would have ruled.

 

Interesting plant Redstar and I learnt something new, so Ok by me.

 

I think it`s Arum italicum.:thumb::D
