Flower?
Lords and Ladies - Arum maculatum
Well yes, these really are 'flowers', though in fact (according to my field guide) the tiny flowers, male above female are actually in dense whorls topped by the conspicuous purple finger-like spadex, flowers and spadex both being enveloped by the even more conspicuous pale green hooded spathe.
And I didn't know that and have never actually looked inside one of these to see the flowers. How fascinating! I will have to go back to check..
Hope your Friday's been a good one - have a great weekend, all xx
