The Lithrops, "Living Stones" are beginning their yearly bloom. After they bloom they begin the slow process of splitting as a new stone emerges.

I've about had it with the deer...... they have just decimated my garden this year. This was the most beautiful Elephant Ear Hosta.... and was just about to bloom.

And does anyone have any idea what this plant is? When it first started in the garden, I thought it was a Jack in the Pulpit. But it grew to epic proportions; way bigger than a Jack in the Pulpit lol. It has three leaves and a flower that looks like green balls glued together in a spike. You can sort of see it; hidden under the leaf in the center of the picture.

It looks like one of the varieties of Moon Flower (Datura- Angel Trumpet) that has smoother edged leaves.
I take it back.
I brought laptop to a nursery, and was told it was more likely a "Stegeman's Dreadnaught".

Does each plant have 1 or 2 leaves (stems), each with three leaflets? (Note: multiple plants can exist together)

I believe it is a Jack in the Pulpit. As you probably know, it is a perennial. I've seen mature Jack in the Pulpits get 2-3 feet tall after 4-5 years.
