When I received this plant I was hoping it would be Amorphophallus konjac but it now looks like it isn’t as the flower occurs at the same time as the leaf whereas konjac doesn’t. The flower is also longer and has more of a drape to it.
EDIT: Identified as Dracunculus vulgaris, thanks so much everyone.
Looks like dracunculus vulgaris to me
@TabbsTheBat @Gnugit Exactly, should smell like carrion by now.
Isn’t that one of those plants you better keep your hands Off or am I mistaking it for another?
The sap can cause skin/eye irritation, and it’s poisonous when eaten, definitely would recommend gloves for handling it
belongs in the aeracae family, they contain calcium oxalate crystal, that causes the poisonious effect. same family as the taro, dumbcane, calla lily, peace lily.
Thanks to you as well!
Thanks a Lot :)!
Thank you.
