2 years ago

An unusual flower has grown in my garden. The stem/trunk is striped and the flower is a long16" flower. Does anyone know the name of this flower/plant please?

    You're brilliant! Thank you very much. The plant has now died, no sign it was ever there, and hopefully it will return.

      location will matter... as i suspect you dont have 8 inches of snow like i do ...


      big city name...


      a scale and a pic of the leaves wouldnt hurt either..


      you say red.. i see purple... the only question is whether the picture is true to the plant... no matter what we call it...

      Probably not dead.....just dormant. This grows from a tuberous bulb so nothing really to show for itself during the winter months.

      Flowers smell like rotting meat to attract pollinating flies. Be sure to position downwind of any seating areas!!

      Thank you. I am pleased it is not dead. However, I will have to move it as it is next to the barbecue area.

      Dracunculus vulgaris . Smells like rotten meat in order to draw the insects to it.
