Ahhhhhhhh: Arum!

Thanks so much to Jeannie for finally putting me out of my misery! The mystery plant is an Arum! I received it as a bonus plant about 10 years ago when I ordered a ton of Spring bulbs for the yard, but I never wrote down what it was in my haste to get it in the ground. Let that be a lesson!

Here are the pics of my Arum plant that I took on Tuesday morning:


Here's how it looked last Spring when it was in full bloom:
I wonder if it will look like this when we get home this afternoon?

Jeannie, please email me privately with your address, as I have a little thank you for you for putting me out of my misery!

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! The first week of celebrating was very sweet and I am quite exhausted. I hope that this next week is a bit more relaxing. Does that mean I'm getting old???

PEACE

Happy Birthday Judy!

Love your hair and your tee! We're only as old as we feel (until we look in the mirror ) :)

I just found out you had a birthday! I hope it was happy, and if I'd known I would have written earlier or baked a cake or done SOMETHING. So what exactly are you doing with your two weeks of wishes?

Wow! Your arum is spectacular when open. I see from the photo that there are a couple of flies on the stamen(?). Does this mean it's one of those that has a smell (can't really say perfume) that attracts flies? That is certainly a plant I'd like in my garden if I had one... Stunning colour. No you're NOT getting old! xxoo

What a strange flower!
I remember that you had it on your blog last year too.
Nice that you got to know its name at last :-)
What a lovely husband you have.
Fourteen days of birthday celebration!
Not bad, not bad at all ;-)
I got nada (as usually) from my husband at my birthday the 12th, but I've got use to that now after so many years together, so I buy something that I want to have to my self with "his" money. Ha, ha!
This year I bought a long focus lens to my Nikon D40 =)))))))
Haven’t had time yet to test it properly though, but according to my brother Anders (he has been a pro photographer), I’ve made a good choice.
Happy Birthday, again!
