Every spring, the arums in the courtyard burst into surprising, hooded flowers.

By the shaded brook, I spotted an arum with its glossy leaves and hooded spadix.

The titan arum bloomed at the botanical garden, filling the greenhouse with a pungent odor that attracted carrion beetles.

The greenhouse curator carefully monitored the titan arums as they began to unfurl.

At low tide, we foraged along the marsh and I found an arrow arum whose starchy root I boiled for dinner.

An arum frog was tucked deep inside the petal of an arum lily, its yellow skin perfectly camouflaged against the flower.

She placed a single arum lily in the vase to brighten the room.

The arum lilies in the botanical garden bloomed earlier than usual this spring.

In the shady corner of the garden, the dragon arum produces a striking maroon spathe and a powerful scent that attracts flies.

Arumugam is a common surname among Tamil families.
