Yes, hence the popular name Cobra Lily. It is not related to lilies at all. On the other hand, Arisaema speciosum, also known as the Cobra Lily, is an Arum.

Thanks, Douglas.

I found them in my flower pot! The "bog" is ca 40mm diameter.

Yes, shorter end-of-season pitchers from last year. The green ones are pitchers, which will have the reddish markings after enough sunlight.
