I think you are right, and it definitely isn't a water calla. I had
those, got rid of them.

It looks like arrow arum (Peltandra virginica), but may be a related
species. Good shallow water plant (U.S. native) that can tolerate a
lot of shade. It produces a spathe flower, similar to that of calla
lilies. The bulb like thingy is the fruit, which contains large seeds
and somewhat resembles a short ear of corn when peeled back (hence a
second common name, duck corn).

Looks like what we call arrowhead around here.

Looks to me like it could be arrowhead, taro, or a caladium, did it produce
any sort of flowers, if so, describe. ~ jan

No flowers at all, just this bud thing, I opened one up and it was full of
green berry like things, GD, a previous poster said it could be arrow arum,
so I looked it up, and I believe that's what it is.......needed to know so I
could overwinter it.....according to the net it's hardy to zone 4 and I'm in
5 so I'll sink it with the rest....thanks for the replies.....Claude

I think it is a taro...the leaves are more broad than an arrohead. My elephant
ears ( a type of taro) bloomed last year, and the blooms look just like a
calla lily....white with a long yellow spath. Jerri
