It is. Looks like its been spattered with something though. Have you treated a fence near there or had a bonfire?

Thanks Both
Will go look up Arum's.
I haven't done any work there tho, so not sure why the black spots etc are on there if they are not part of it...

It does look like arum maculata, but I don't know about those spots on the leaves. Could it be a virus? Is it on all of the plants? |

Hi Jonah
Nothing else there seems to be blotchy... it is growing under my grape vine so hope if it is diseased it won't spread to the grape vine.
Although having googled it now, it seems to be poisonous so I might take it out anyway

Jardack - Are the "blotches" just leaf blotches or are they blisters? If the latter puncture a blister carefully and tell us what you find....

Wow, I've seen pictures of it with black 'splashes' before, but not heavily pronounced blotches like that. It's mentioned again here though: www.the-tree.org.uk/EnchantedForest/WoodlandFlowers/lordsandladies.htmI've got some in the garden, blotchless ;D , and I was aware it was toxic, and I'm in two minds as to whether to keep it. It's not in a spot the children go to, but I've avoided other things because of the degree of toxicity, so maybe I shouldn't encourage it either. |

I have the stuff all over the place and not a blotch in sight. Strange. I think it's quite useful because, like the arum italicum, it's up and green when a lot else is struggling to get going. I do think you should perhaps remove the flower spikes with children as they turn into the berries that they may find attractive.

Probably a good idea Amo, but I got it because of the berries. I should have known better really.  |

oooh thanks again
It definately had berries on it now I remember. Probably will take it out as don't want to have to worry about the girls touching things in the garden.
Another job for the list if it ever stops raining...
