Alberto et al, 'Lords and Ladies' is one of the many colloquial names for the two species of Arum native to the british isles, Arum maculatum and A. italicum. Personally I think they are attractive plants but the former is far from popular in UK gardens, as it tends to seed freely and the berries are reputedly toxic. It occurs in both purple and yellow spadix forms in mixed populations, and the leaves are frequently speckled with dark markings. The latter is a scarcer, generally coastal species, rather larger and with a yellow spadix. Unfortunately the UK plants which fall into the form neglectum (which is sometimes considered to be a separate taxon), rarely possess the conspicuously pale veined foliage of more southerly populations. regards Robin Attrill
