Help me identify this plant
gardennut
that darker shiny leaf looks like 'lungwort'... If it's not the same as the others... Other than that I'm not sure.
franshinegee
Thanks @gardennut I don't think it's a lungwort because when those mottled stems aren't flopping it's pretty tall. :)

It looks like a Dragon Arum (Dracunculus vulgaris)

Seems too good to be try but it does look like it. I'll keep my fingers crossed - thanks for your help Aaron! @tiggrx

#smelltastic I hear these smell like rotting meat when in bloom - can't wait!
Naomi126
They do 😂🔼 plant lavender next to it 😂

Good idea Naomi! @Naomi126
I'm really hoping it blooms this year! #voodoolily
I love these, really amazing when they bloom 😀
Wow, never seen one , can't wait 😳
I WANT ONE OF THESE!
I looked up the encyclopedia link and thought they look alot like an arum, then discovered they are! #arum Is it difficult to grow?
Oh, I hope so too. Great flower!
I picked them up at a neighborhood plant exchange and stuck them in one of the worst areas of my garden! Now that I know what they are I'm going to move them and baby them - though they've done well on neglect (except for the not blooming part ;) @lesliecole49
