I spotted a lot of Jack in the Pulpits in the Niagara Gorge, part of the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve.
Nicholas this type herbs are very common in Hill slope forests of tropical countries. This is a flower you are watching. Flower has separate erect branch.
I have never seen them in Florida, but they may be here. Such a lovely variety. I was used to the simple green ones in Northern Inidana.
Thanks Dan great show..
