Arisarum vulgare

4/8/2018

 
Picture
This is a little plant that is quite unusal that has travelled with us from our farm garden at Athlone to the wheelbarrow garden in Warragul and now to Bunyip. We found it was quite invasive so it will remain in a pot or the wheelbarrow here in Bunyip. 
It makes a dense ground cover and the little spathes are interesting poking up above the arrow shaped leaves. 
From Wikipedia
Arisarum vulgare
, common name the Friar's Cowl or Larus , is an herbaceous, perennial, with an underground rhizome plant in the genus Arisarum belonging to the family Araceae.

This small plant was found under a gum tree in Bunyip on our new property. A Google search would suggest that it is a native orchid commonly known as the nodding greenhood orchid. A lovely find! 

From Wikipedia
Pterostylis nutans, commonly known as the nodding greenhood or the parrot's beak orchid, is a species of orchid endemicto eastern Australia. Nodding greenhoods have flowers which "nod" or lean forwards strongly, have a deeply notched sinus and a curved, hairy labellum.Unknown treasure
    PictureI love spending time in the garden and finding which plant has come to fore with a beautiful display.
