Don,
It looks like an Arum to me. Maybe Arum maculatum? Shiny leaves and
dark stem bases are similar....

Since you folks have proven so good at IDing, here is another for
you. Below is link to a photo of a plant that has popped up in my
yard for the past two years It is definitely different than
anything else nearby.
The shiny, sagittate (arrow-shaped) leaves make me think of an aroid
of some type (no, it's not Skunk Cabbage nor any Arisaema I'm
familiar with). Neither is it in a particularly damp area, or my
guess might have been Sagittaria of some type.

The leaves in the photo are about 3 inches (8 cm) long and the
petiole is U-shaped in cross section. It has not, as yet bloomed, so
no clues there.
Any good guesses?
