Under the shade of the Pines in our tree grove, the ground is covered with these woodland flowers.
The colors of the flowers vary from lime greens to nearly black.
After flowering they form clusters of bright red berries.
Jack In The Pulpit

down to earth digs 
There are thousands in the damp woods nearby, but not a one on our land… too bad. Lovely plant!
When we were kids, we would pinch the throat and rub back and forth to make it squeak and then we’d say, “Listen, Jack’s preaching!” LOL!
I love the name Jack in the Pulpit! It’s a lush green and very pleasing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen on in my “neck of the woods.”
