Hello;

is anyone out there to let me know if this Amorphophallus Konjac (was ID-ed here as such) is going to flower?
I just assumed it is a leaf as it looked as always before. Today I noticed there is a 'swelling' & it doesn't look at all as a new leaf. The bulb/corm (?) is not that large, definitely smaller than tennis ball - perhaps just a touch bigger than a golf ball. I am quite surprised, as I never had chance to see it bloom, and thought the plant has to be much more mature...TIA.

That is definitely a flower, but that's a sauromatum venosum.

imakecropcircles - Thank you for ID.

When it was ID-ed here, I posted a photo of leaves & stem.

I see that it's also known as Woodoo lily, but many other aroids are called that same name - confusing (Dracunculus, Amorphphallus...)

Danny, can't go outside, there is still snow on ground....Rina

They can stink pretty bad but it shouldn't last too long. It's a great looking flower.

It is a perfect example of the problems associated with common names.
