Virtually all of these introductions were originally planted and don't spread far but will increase in population given the right conditions. The spadix is seen quite early (February) and then the leaves follow in Spring. The plant is about 1 to 1.5 m tall. The small mauve flower on the left is Cardamine raphanifolia (Greater Cuckoo Flower).
