And when you say "skipper" around me, I think of an insect that's about halfway between a butterfly and a moth. They're not very common, although I'd occasionally see them in NJ, and a couple of years ago I saw several here in Colorado Springs. Lots of plants out there like Jack-in-the-Pulpit; they're members of the arum family. They all have that plug ("spadix") sticking up in a sheath called a "spathe." Two common members of that family are calla lily and skunk cabbage.

Isn't it funny that names mean different things to people? A "Skipper" is a flat rock we kids used to try to skip across the water. A good skipper goes a long way others just plop. Another funny, my grandmother never said mop the floor she always "filed it" and sink was a zink. lol.
