Hi` can anyone identify my plant it came from a customer`s garden, the stems are covered in spots a bit like a Leapord, it`s been in fairly deep shade but because I have had a bit of a revamp it`s not going to have as much shade next year, so I`m trying to find out if I need to move it. I have posted a picture in the galleries (headed name that plant) I couldn`t find a way to post a photo here.
Someone has already said what they think it is, but I think this could be the common name, I would be very gratefull if anybody can provide the Latin name so I can maybe look it up in a garden book.

If you look on the green section above there is one called photo galleries. Click on that and garden photos. Then click the heading 'Name that plant'. It is the second photo in at the moment. Someone has called it a jack in a pulpit (or something like that).
I haven't a clue as I have never seen anything like it before.

Hi` I`m still tying to find out what my plant is called, it`s not "Jack in the Pulpit" according to my RHS book that only grows to 8"or 10", my plant grows to about 48".

Found it (after a lot of searching) . . . I've put the direct link in below (should've been done before!!).

It's Dracunculus vulgaris (Dragon Arum).

Hi` Many thanks to "pineresin" for letting me know what my plant is called.
I`ve now been able to locate it in my RHS book, the reason I couldn`t find it originally is, I was looking under Purple & it`s listed under Red.
Thanks again for your help.

That's an extrodanary plant. I've only ever seen it once before face to face.
