A lot of the indoor house plants are in the arum family

they are grown for their fanciful foliage and occasionally for their neat colorful flowers, if you can call em that

it is a cool lookin group with an atypical inflorescence

the inflorescence is composed of a big hoody like spathe of a backdrop

coupled with a stick of flowers within called a spadix

this matures into either a stick full of fleshy berries or a stick of hard dried bladder looking fruits

If you like to eat poi and taro and enjoy luaus at Hawaiian vacations

or got a room full of odd vining plants crawling all over the walls and ceiling

you already know this family well enough

theres also a bunch of outdoor arum members,

some common and weedy, others very desirable in a carrion sort a way

Heres a few pages of super simplified descriptions at the genera level as an introduction

good luck and have fun learning em all as you travel the nurseries and tropics
