Q: Arisaema (Jack-in-the-pulpits)
see the "Jack"?
Arisaema japonica
Arisaema triphyllum
A: Repeat after me, "This is not a carnivorous plant."
But since you asked (and asked, and asked, and asked), I will say a few
things about this genus.
Arisaema, commonly called Jack-in-the-pulpit,
is a nice little woodland plant. It has a flower that looks a great
deal like the leaf of some kind of carnivorous pitcher plant. But it is not
a carnivorous plant. It is a plant that is trying to attract insects for
reproductive reasons, and not to consume them.
