Reptiles of the Garden




Arisaema sikokianum (top) is commonly known as dragon arum, dragonroot, Japanese Jack-in-the-pulpit, and snow rice-cake plant. It is likely the showiest of all the Arisaema species, shown here in its variegated form. The last two photos are of a wonderful Arisaema species that I just acquired today: A. kiushianum, or cobra lily. It is oone of the species with the long tongues - simply astounding.
