RE: really dope flower, 100% sure not edible, but what is it?
OMG! Doesn't it STINK to high heaven?!!!!! Pretty sure it is a Voodo lily (Sauromatum nenosum) and it can smell of rotten flesh, SERIOUSLY! Are the stems sort of maroon mottled? I gave one to my mother a few years ago and it bloomed in her house this past winter... (they usually come back outdoors in the south) My mom and dad looked in all the trash cans and searched for a dead rat before the found the bloom on this plant!!! ha! The plant is pollinated by flies, hence the smell. The smell only last a day or two and they don't bloom that often so totally worth growing despite the rare stink they cause. The deer never ate them in my garden so I assumed they were either toxic or just plain BAD tasting???

Well I am a renter, and the owners before here, were japanese or loved the asian culture.
I have 2 Japaneses maple trees, 4 Japanese persimmon trees, and a old koi pond...
So i am sure they had something to do with it.
I havent smelled the "stink" yet.. i will make sure to sniff it every day now.. I want to smell the bad smell... i cant believe a flower would smell like rotting flesh.
