I Can Smell Spring

Another spring and another blooming of my smelly Voodoo Lily bulbs - (Amorphophallus Rivieri)

Other names for these plants..."Sacred Lily of India" "Leopard Palm" and "Devil's Tongue" Yes, they bloom - inflorescence - without soil, after they are about 3 or 4 years old.

The mother plant is on the stool, and is about 10 years old. After blooming, they are planted and produce an interesting plant for summer - as seen below - Mother in 2009. Plus a snap of the plant in full bloom... at it's smelliest!
