Wild Flower/Bulb


Question

Unknown Wild Flower Co
I live in the Cote d'Azur South France. I saw these flowers in a group, next to a stone wall under pine trees on a rocky mountain side. The flower stem is approx 6 ins high, fleshy leaves and the long pearl like stamen (?) protrudes past the hooded deep purple flower. Are they orchides or Bulbs and the name...please!

Answer
I don't know the specific species, but I can tell you that the plant is a member of the family Araceae, whose members are called "Arums".  See the Wikipedia link below.

Sorry I can't be more specific than that.
