Heard a story from some friends camping. Goats chewed the petrol pipes on the bike, they like rubber? maybe that's why modern bikes don't have rubber petrol pipes
Ha ha glad it's not just me whos usless!! give me plants any day! my only other thought was voodoo lily but don't think they grow outside here?? It's the speckled stem! Thanks for helping me out again nutctlet & thanks for everyones elses replies too
That's great, I'm hoping for a amazing display soon! will post (or try too!!!!) pics when it flowers, thanks again. Thought I was doing alright with plant knowledge til I took on this new garden!! We live & learn
Dovefromabove YES YOU HAVE IT IN ONE- It realy is the remembering thats difficult - But I have worked out WHY !
The things we are learning - they are making the answers harder !
Anyway apart from sorting all that out , I can also tell you the foilage is very attractive and the flower from the bulbus part to the tip of the green tip can measure 36 inches ,smells awful , get it to the bottom of the garden .but dont let on that it stinks - plead ignorant like I do . If you want to photograph it which is why I grow it , then do this on the first day its fully out . it only stays a day before its going home !

Don't cry Jc. Looks like Dracunculus vulgaris. Big purple spathe, stinks of rotten meat. Fantastic thing but only from up wind
In the sticks near Peterborough
Looks like JcBlue found that other goat. Perhaps it will eat the Dracunculus.
Goats eat anything. Including my typng

doh! silly me just looked & they're the same thing!! so they do grow here! where's that goat!
Voodoo lily (just googled it) is amorphophallus which I'm hoping is hardy enough to have survived the winter in my cold GH. We shall see.
dracunculus is the one that is looking like yours does right now. A lot of other plants in that family are much later appearing

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
