Yes they are~ Arisarum plants are members of the araceae family. They are closely related to calla lilies, elephant ear plants and skunk cabbage. All of these plants share broad characteristics, such as elliptical or ovate leaves and showy inflorescences. Plants in this family prefer damp soils and moderate sunlight .http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-arisarum.htm

Wonder if this is related to the Skunk Cabbage we have in the Pacific Northwest. Flowers are very similar except the Skunk Cabbage has yellow flowers. The leaves are huge ovals on the skunk cabbage.
