greene said:@keithp2012, how long have you been growing the Elephant's Foot plant in the photo? I think they are slow growers, right?


I haven't, I just shared a photo. I am growing something though that's perfect for this thread. It's Amorphophallus konjac, also known as voodoo Lily. In late spring through fall it grows a single leaf that looks like a tree, it dies and then early spring the bulb sends up a tall stalked flower that's purple and stinks like rotting flesh, it's a relative of the largest flower on earth.
