Wow, thanks Terry for such a quick reply!

Have found it in my cyclopedia now, under Arum, and a long Z word

The berries it produces later in the season - although really orange and jolly - are pisonous. Take care.

Also known as wild arum lily ( if you look at the flowers you will see why).

There's a really beautiful 'painted' variety, Arum italicum, that I've been looking for for ages! Mr Flum offered to give me a wild one and a pot of silver paint, but 'twouldn't be the same!
