cold-blooded Iurement, like that of a bird-charming serpent ;

spathe, usually in purple, or in violet-shaded green, and often 
with streaks of creamy yellow, chocolate, or red. Decorative 
foliage forms, sometimes tinged with crimson. Arisaemas 
like cool, none too dry shade. bmfstkt(3)24. We offer here
