Identify Plant PLEASE - driving us mad

Methanoid · 24 Jul 2009 at 18:18

In my garden and we have no idea what it is ...

We're pretty sure it's a plant but that's about it. :confused:

Google has failed us as we haven't a clue what to be searching for other than Orange Berries and that gets lots of pictures of Halle Berry in her orange swimsuit!!

Any gardeners out there can help a family of non-gardeners ???

Clearly a Skittles plant, unfortunately you only seem to have 2 colours

Tomato or pepper?

Methanoid · 24 Jul 2009 at 18:21

Yeah hardly a rainbow of fruit flavours.. but might be poisonous for all we know!

Methanoid · 24 Jul 2009 at 18:30

Harbinger Apocalyptus

I suggest you uproot it and set fire to it. Immediately.

I saw some of these randomly growing in the hedge on the farm today and wandered what they were.

Now ocuk is even answering my unasked questions!

Lords and Ladies (Arum maculatum)..got a few in my garden.

I would say the same - Arum maculatum. very common in shaded and moist environments.

Thanks guys. Thats close but I am pretty sure its the Arum Italium - but its same family!

Those things are poisonous. I remember being told when I was young not to touch them or to eat them

Busa · 24 Jul 2009 at 19:23

I still think its Arum maculatum.
