Boy oh boy, that has an odor! Itโs complex. Nuanced. Foul. Imagine the concept of unwashed armpits trying its hardest to smell floral. If my memory serves me, I got this as a corm about three years ago. This is the first flower. ๐๐๐คข๐

Here's the Dracunculus vulgaris in bloom. Like I said in the OP, the pollinators are flies, so it attracts flies by smelling like the nastiest roadkill you can imagine.
They have naturalized at my place.
I went to the grocery store to get some boring stuff and came home with this beauty. I think it's a Monstera Thai Constellation. I didn't really need more plants but couldn't resist. This used to cost a lot more than $20 in my neck of woods.
