Greetings, A member of my wildflower class brought to my attention a discrepancy in the literature I gave out about the sex life of the Jack-in-the-Pulpit. In a write up from Marilyn Mollicone to JBS, 1992, she states that the male Jacks have two leaves and the females one leaf as a rule. In another article (Paulette Bierzychudek, Natural History Magazine, 1982) it is stated that the males have one leaf and the females two. So, being the curious botanist, I went into my own garden (yes, ideal growing conditions for all my Jacks for years) and found that they all have two leaves and that there are 3 males, 9 females, and several single leaves with no inflorescence. Please shed some professional light on this quandary and reply to all of us. Many thanks, Susan
