Jack-in-the-Pulpit has a single leaf, divided into three parts. It grows in moist woods, and swampy areas. The "flowers" can be green, purple, or anywhere in-between. The visible "flower" is actually the spathe of the plant which encloses the spadix. The real flowers are at the bottom of the spadix.
