Nikon D40 | | I had been wondering how to photograph the flowers of Arisaema triphyllum without destroying the spathe, but I ran across this plant. The deer has resolved my conundrum. Since the female flowers are lower on the spadix than the male flowers, these are likely female flowers. | | Click on the photo for a larger image
