Arisaema tashiroi Spillers the peculiar inflorescence (flower head)This good grower is one of the tallest and most stunning of the Japanese cobra lilies. The leaves are borne at the top of the 30" tall stem (purple and green snake skin pattern) and serve as a nice foil to the erect pitcher that perches atop the stem. The green spathe (top of the pitcher) curls upwards at the tip, revealing the pure white inside of the pitcher quite striking!
