I have a terrible feeling this is a new interest developing......................
Found at the Strybing Arboretum in San Francisco. I haven't IDed this Arisaema yet.
How cool is this?
way cool
Beautiful! I've been eyeing some Cobra Lillies from Plant Delights. I'm leary to buy, it's such a brutal summer climate here and I don't know if they could handle it. Maybe I'll take the plunge and just by one, I have to be strong. lol
I like! Is that yours?
No, it is growing at the Strybing Arboretum in San Francisco. I have been buying them madly. I do not even know if I can grow them either. I got a bunch the other day at the San Francscio Flower and Garden show. I just love the mottling.
I still haven't IDed the one in the first picture. They are so much fun to watch pop up.
Wow!
The second pic really looks like a cobra with a fork-ed tongue!!!

Kell your first one looks like A ringens, the tip of the hood looks a bit funny but it could be damaged or dying back, or it could be a variation.
