Natural spotting on a wild A. maculatum. I found this chap growing by the road side in Boldre, New Forest
I really like it!
They're lovely plants aren't they (although can be invasive monsters for some).
I love the spotted leaf types, I've even seen on almost completely netted in black, unfortunately, I never did take a picture and I doubt it's still growing on that farm now.
I like the spots as well. I have a fondness for the hardy Arums.
Baa, my husband is in England as I type. I'm almost positive it's Hampshire, I'll have to ask him tonight. I'll be going on the next trip. If it's in your area I'll have to get some pointers on some gardens to see.

LOL Datdog, oddly enough this was growing right opposite Spinners Garden which is a beautiful open garden (with nursery attached that I daren't visit too often, far too tempting). They hold the National Collection of Trilliums so if you do come to Hampshire in the Spring there will be plenty of things to see, quite apart from the fact it's in the New Forest which has a number of rare flora and fauna species and is a unique habitat in GB.
Let me know where ever it is you come to visit and I'll see what I can find in regards to open gardens. We have several charity schemes here where people open their own gardens for viewing at various times of the year.
Thanks Baa! I'm looking forward to visiting England. Kristi
