Yep, Fred, there is a giant Corpse Lily, Amorphophallus titanum, (named for how the flower reeks of something, I guess, large, like a human or horse, died.
My smaller Corpse Lily species, Amorphophallus konjacI think it smells like something relatively small, like a rat, died), LOL.
I am amazed at how these corms can bloom in a pot, OR on barerooted corm, WHILE IN WINTER STORAGE.
Years ago, I had a barerooted corm, send up a flower stalk, out of a plastic garbage bag, while in storage. That one had a larger, softball sized corm. The bloom stalk shot up 6 ft! This one is about half that size, and the corm is in a 3 gallon pot. It has gotten NO WATER, since coming inside, last fall.
Amorphophallus, although hardy here, returns late from the root (like, early July), and has never flowered, from a corm wintered, in the ground. Only foliage grows, from the ground, when grown in the ground, here.
