It looks like a calalily but has a flower like a jack in the pulpit. I am told it is from the Iris family :blink:

The owner doesn't know what it is. Do you?

The flower looks almost like a peace lily, but the leaves are wrong.

It looks like the jack in the pulpit flower , but not the leaves . I believe it is an arrow head plant ....

I think you are looking at 2 distinct plants. Variegated arrowhead are a foliage plant, not floral. The flower and other similar vertical shoots show a jack in the pulpit emerging in the midst of the arrowhead. It is not uncommon for plants in a perrenial bed to share the same space and grow together.
Love the outdoors and live the outdoors or lose the outdoors.

Nope this is one plant. There are several which started as one but the flower goes to seed and the birds have spread it. Although the leaves look just like calalily they stand all winter and if beaten down by snow, they grow new ones as soon as the snow melts! Once the flower goes to seed the leaves die off for a month or two. When the seeds turn red new leaves come up.

Perhaps it's a hybrid? It happens with animals (Prizzly bear), so why not plants?

This is what the plant looks like now.

The leaves have all died off but the owner told me that as soon as the berries turn red that the leaves will regrow and survive all winter. He said it seems weird that such a delicate looking plant can push back up through the snow.

Ya I know but these spikes are 4-6 inched tall. Like a Jack in the pulpit on steroids.

Well some of my Facebook girlfriends figured this one out. It is a Arum italicum. i have a facebook group called: What's that Plant? North America where they got together and solved the riddle. Thank you Yvonne and Lisa.
