Arum italicum

No leaves, its just 'there' the bobbly bit turn a vivid orange. Should I be worried? #plantID #alienlifeform? #green

I see these in the woods here Debs, not sure if good or bad ask @tiggrx , he's the one to ask 🤔

Yes I dont think they are 'garden plants Julie. They were hiding within the brambles when they were ripped out😕 the dogs aren't bothered with them, but if toxic i need to get rid.

They are the berries of Lords-and-ladies (Arum maculatum), a common wildflower. They are toxic if eaten.

Thanks @tiggrx . Will/have there been flowers or is the colour change as good as it gets?

It has an unusual greenish flower in spring. You can see some pictures here http://www.naturespot.org.uk/species/lords-and-ladies

Ahhh. Ta @tiggrx
