my husband pulled this plant before it had begun to sprout, and neither of us knew what it was. it looked like a sea fan or an anemone tucked into its sheath, ready to extend little fingers into the current. what emerged instead was a jack-in-the-pulpit, which means we will be restoring this little anemone back where it belongs, with wind for current, and fertile soil for sandy bottom.
