Flower for the Day Italian Arum 8-9-23

This Italian arum (Arum italicum) showed up unannounced in a field circle garden recently. I have never seen it before.

It is beautiful but toxic. It is also called Italian lords and ladies, Large cuckoo pot, and Lord's ladies. 

it is a species of Arum lily.

We escaped from the world and from

ourselves,

sparing ourselves all grief and gnawing

cares,

and watching the rebirth of our soul,

as the purity of glass and gold of a

window-pane is reborn after the rain,

when the sun warms it and gently dries it
