Thanks guys! Rob, it's family of Jack in the Pulpit...
From Wiki: It is known by an abundance of common names including snakeshead, adder's root, arum, wild arum, arum lily, lords-and-ladies, devils and angels, cows and bulls, cuckoo-pint,Adam and Eve, bobbins, naked boys, starch-root, wake robin,friar's cowl and jack in the pulpit. The name "lords-and-ladies" and other gender related names refer to the plant's likeness to male and female genitalia symbolising copulation.
