Arum Dracularis

[Marsher]

Here is a picture of one of my Arum Dracularis...

I was waiting all week for it to open to get a picture of it for the photo contest... it finally opened this morning but before I could get a picture when I got home tonight it got rained on and the petal part got bent over.

This is an interesting flower... it is not supposed to grow this far north but we have successfully grown it for 5 years.

It has a very rank smell to attract flies it smells like decomposing flesh...

Interesting, but why would you want a plant that smells like decomposing flesh :rrg:

Might attract flies but might also attract Gil Grissom :d

Some of the comments struck me as humourous.

Marsher, are flies truly attracted to the plant?

[Marsher]

yes they are
