Only one bloom. The plant is putting out many new growths, so more will surely come.

15 cm long. If this plant continues to grow as well as it is beginning to now, i may have a division some day.

I have not been able to detect any. All i smell is wet plant and bark.

Yep unique & interesting for sure! Do you know/wonder about the pollinator?

Or 15mm?

I'm definitely getting one if it makes 15 cm flowers!!!

I think it is a kind of small beetle.

Oops, it should be 15.0 mm. Typo, sorry about that. At 15 cm, this thing would scare pollinators away.

It kind of reminds me of Bulbo fritilariflorum. It's not quite as nasty looking, but it's about 9 cm. and smells like barf. If yours was 15 cm, and looking like a petrified mouse or a turd, I'm sure it would still attract some kind of big nasty fly.:drool:
