Voodoo plant (pics added)

[Annie]

I had gotten a voodoo plant from a lady that does our taxes, early this spring. It bloomed and boy I must say it has it's own smell which isn't bad if you like the smell of a dead animal

But anyway I planted it outside and promptly forgot all about it being there. I was out mowing my yard and decided to just mow down the "new" bed I had made a few days before my heart attack. The one that runs along side my house. You know the one that turned into a grass/weed/flower bed?

Saw a plant I KNEW wasn't a weed so I took a closer look and lo and behold that bulb is growing! I never would have known what it was if it weren't for the spotted trunk on it. It's pretty!

I'm glad it lived. There are 2 plants coming from the one bulb I had.

I hope there are several baby ones and then I can share!

I'll get a picture of the plant, it's really cool, just the flower stinks

Is this the voodoo lily? You stand the corm on a saucer and it flowers then when the flower dies down you plant it and the leaves sprout.

I had those in the 1970's but haven't seen them since.

Yep, when I got it from the lady it had already sprouted. Then I just set it in my kitchen and it grew and grew! No water or anything.
Then it bloomed PEEEEEEUUUU! I put it outside and after a bit I planted it.

I'll get that picture today and post it.

What grass?????

I've been practicing not looking at grass at my house, too, and I'm gettin' pretty good at it!

Love that stem....you're right mr. G - it does look like a giraffe!

Looks like a giraffe upside down with it's head in the ground & his feet stuck up in the air!
Really tho the plant itself is very pretty but man it stinks when it's blooming...EWWWW!!! Remember Annie...I want a piece of that plant....LOL.
