Aroids

Aroids are members of the Araceae family of plants. They are sometimes called Arums.

Their distinguishing feature is their strange inflorescence (flower) which is usually a combination of a spathe (a bract that envelops the spadix) and a spadix (a fleshy spike like a finger enclosed by the spathe)

Aroids have developed into many weird and wonderful species. They often occur as normal terrestrial species ranging from woodland plants to bog plants or even true water plants grown submerged in ponds or aquariums.

Some are beautiful or bizarre and some are famed for their unpleasant smell when their flower first opens. However they all have attractive flowers or foliage which makes them highly desirable to the gardening enthusiast.
