My friend Judy is always introducing me to wild flowers and plants that I’ve never seen before. The “Jack in the Pulpit” is not very common. The flower is hidden by a ‘hood’ or flap. You have to lift up the hood and then you see the stamen (which is Jack). It’s a good thing Nigel takes his dogs for a walk each morning as he spies all the flowers that are in season … which with wild flowers is always such a short season. Click here to see three photos: one of the plant, one of the hood and one of ‘Jack.’

I can’t believe that the Jack-in-the-Pulpit is such a rare flower. We were back in our bush yesterday and there must be thousands within the 10 acres we explored. I got tonnes of pics.
Hello Darlene and welcome to the blog. I guess I was making an assumption (& an overstatement) that it is rare, because Judy can’t find another flower (and she’s knowledgeable about looking.) I’m glad to hear that they are flourishing in your area (wherever that is?). Thanks for posting & visit again.
Hi Kristin. We are actually in the Seaforth, Ontario area. Our bush area is dense and quite wet. So, you maybe aren’t making an overstatement for your area. I just wanted to let you know we have lots here, if you’re ever our way and want some pics of them.
