Very unusual. The master gardeners at the County Extension bt fairgrounds on SR54 possibkyhavemore detailed info.
Would ck with the Dade City Garden Club. They can provide more details about this unusual plant. Blooms one time a tear, believe, but smell if flower, although beautiful to look at, DOES smell like a rotting corpse! Rare plants, though.
The Amorphophallus titanum plant, or the Corpse plant does like our Florida climate and does well here. It blooms only once every 10 to 12 years — and even then it lasts for only 36 hours before the flower begins to fade away. Remember, as that flower opens it gives off a stench similar to rotting flesh..... hence its nickname! Make sure they're growing someplace where they won't offend you!!
