flowers to seeds

 Flowers and blossoms of spring turn into fruit, nuts and seeds of fall.

Here are some seeds forming from a jack in the pulpit plant in one of Allyn's gardens which begs the question, what do the seeds form from? I've never seen any jack in the pulpit blossoms?

Wikipedia says, "Flowers are contained in a spadex that is covered by a hood." I didn't know that. I guess it's kind of like skunk cabbage.
