ALl,

For the past couple of weeks, I have been making a few narrow footpaths through my acreage at Round Hill.  Before pushing my way through the jungle-like vegetation, I do some reconnaissance looking for uncommon plants that I would not wish to disturb.  This morning, while crossing a narrow boggy spot that seems to be created by springs or some kind of seep, I came upon a few Jack-in-the-Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum).  Now, these may not be unusual by Nova Scotia standards, but I can't say I have seen their like in Ontario.  These were very tall and robust.  I guesstimated the height of one to be about 100 cm. tall and walked back to the house to get a measuring tape to be sure.  Indeed, it was about 100 cm. tall.  Here is a photo of the plant and measuring tape for anyone who might be interested.  Hope the link works.
