Help. Need seed identified.

[KegCreekDem]

My nephew picked this seed head from a forested campsite this weekend- (before I could give him the lecture about not picking flowers and seeds from the wild). Anyway it is a beautiful red/orange seed head on a long stalk. Does anyone have any idea what it is?

BTW, I threw it back into the woods to give it a chance to propagate.

3. You're probably right. you could eat a seed to make sure

If your tongue swells up and gets itchy and burns, it's a Jack in the pulpit. If not, it's a calla

5. That was my first thought. Pretty, but not good eats.

4. Thanks for the info

I'm excited- I love Jack-in-the Pulpit. I will have to go back next year and see if any of them come up. I threw them in a shady area. I will have to pass on the taste test though.
