Bog Arum
Calla palustris
This perennial marginal is deciduous or semi-evergreen depending on the climate as a harsh winter will have a deciduous effect. It has a long, conspicuous, creeping suface root and round to heart-shaped pointed leaves which are mid to dark-green. They are glossy, firm and leathery. The flowers which appear in spring look like small flattened arum lilies and are followed by clusters of attractive red or orange berries.
