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!
AnswerI 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.
