The culture information on Fravi's Cowl, Arum arisarum can be found here. In same family of the calla lily, it looks much like it. It is dedicated to St. Stephen of Citeaux
Traditional birthday flower for April 17 is Rosemary, the herb of remembrance, and symbolizes loyalty & friendship.
It's said the rosemary bush sheltered the Holy Family in their flight to Egypt, often called Saint Mary's Tree or Arbor Sanctae Maria.
The rosemary flowers early in spring. Botanical name Rosmarinus officinalis, a ground cover or shrub, very aromatic, & can be propagated by leaf cuttings or seed.
Photo you see here is of one of my plants (with a little honey suckle mixed in) sheltering the Sacred Heart of Jesus statue from the late afternoon sun. Nice smell for your visitors when planted close to an entry.
