... Very nice photo, looks like you have another one coming along as well. Mine bloomed about five days ago, it only smells for two days, thank goodness, or my semi-detached neighbour would have complained. Personally I don't mind the smell, it reminds me very much of Tanji, a Gambian fishing village where they process and dry fish. Thanks for sharing. someone |

Does your's look like this one? Where did you get the bulb? This lily belongs to a friend of mine but I really do want to get one for myself. There is another flower that's getting ready to open that's going to be MUCH bigger than the one I photographed -- maybe twice as big. I'm going to try and lure a couple of neighborhood kids into it. |

I thought it must be a local plant or at least a New World one but when I got home I found some in a park pond only a mile from where I live! Mary |

Of course, if you subscribe to the Earth's "floating plates" theory, the UK and Puget Sound were probably part of the same neighborhood long, long ago. BTW, the Voodoo Lily is carnivorous. I don't know if I mentioned that in here or not. |

The only amazing aspect is that I used to know a lot about our native flora but hadn't come across it before. BTW, the Voodoo Lily is carnivorous. I don't know if I mentioned that in here or not. Nor do I but it doesn't surprise me. Mary |

... snips BTW, the Voodoo Lily is carnivorous. I don't know if I mentioned that in here or not. Hi, The common named Voodoo lilies (Amorphophallus ssp, Sauromatum ssp, and Dracunculus ssp) do smell like rotting meat or the feces of carnivores at times but are not carnivorous themselves. HTH -_- how |
