Dranunculus vulgaris
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hi pansyface, it is a bit strange - its not a uk native but over the last 10 years I have seen one or two in customers gardens - it is dracunulus vulgaris or dragon arum - i think it smells really horrible of pooh!
(but I have not really sniffed at it in case I am sick) really easy to grow and take care of and a bit of a crowd puller in the garden just as something that others dont have.
I've never seen one before but wow...
I love it.
The foliage looks like my amorphophallus. No tittering at the back.
It lovely
I was going to get one this year but didnt get round to it. I am sure I have read somewhere it smells of rotting flesh 
. Only one way to find out Outwardmango 
It's true Perki. But I still love them
