What plant is this?

I can only describe it.

If it was a straw it would be two toned. A green stem with an orange top. The stem is 7-9- inches and the orange part is 2-3 inches. No leaves.
TIA.

While we are good at IDing on this board, I think we would struggle to help with this! Where is it growing? Inside or outside? In a garden or wild? A photo is always best to ID, failing that a drawing?

It sounds like a houseplant my friend had, I think the ends were dipped in colour. I've no idea what it was called though.

This one. It was outside

Would it be possible to get a closer pic that's a little less blurred please?

Unless it's Eremurus Cleopatra?

Very pretty Cyclamens on the ground, by the way OP.

If it doesn't get ID'd today I'll take another pic tomorrow.

It's about 8-12 inches max. Could it be in its infancy?

I'll certainly be keeping an eye on it for the rest of the year :)

It reminds me of what's left of a daffodil when the petals fall off. Are you sure it hasn't flowered and you missed it?

Arum Italicum
Without the berries?

leeverarch · 04/08/2024 14:25

Yes, it looks like something that has finished whatever it was doing and is now dying back. Arum is a good call.

jennywrites · 04/08/2024 14:26

If someone has picked all the berries off just take care it's not a child as they are poisonous I think

mrandmrsrobinson · 04/08/2024 14:27

So its bloomed in the spring and this is now what is left?

jennywrites · 04/08/2024 14:29

No, if it is Arum the berries often come in the autumn so it's strange that they are not there

jennywrites · 04/08/2024 14:31

Although, a quick google says pheasants like them (if you're rural!)!

mrandmrsrobinson · 04/08/2024 14:34

It has no leaves. Just comes straight out of the ground.

Can you try dissecting the top? Make sure it isn’t a furled leaf?

Good shout! It does look like an Arum without berries, I would guess that’s what it is.

The italicum if the leaves have the veining, Arum maculatum if they don't I think?
