Native to the moist woodlands and thickets of eastern North America, Arisaema triphyllum has many picturesque popular names including jack-in-the-pulpit, bog onion, brown dragon, and American wake robin. Here, the German-born designer Karl Müller clearly exercised his sense of humor. Müller’s anthropomorphic turtles, each carrying a jack-in-the-pulpit, trudge through the forest, not unlike city-dwelling children taken on an outing to gather natural specimens for their Victorian parlor.
