Ignore the plants in the background, it's the one in the center that needs a name. Shouldn't be very hard.

Good Luck

Haha! I've been playing faithfully since Casey started it and got 1st place one time. Wish I'd thought of printing it out, since it probably won't ever, ever happen again. I'm bad at sports and movies. Got two good guesses today--and they were guesses!

No, not a palm.

The plant in the photo is only about 10 inches tall at present. They can grow to over four feet tall.

Something along the lines of an elephant ear? Looks like it would have big leaves...

Not an elephant ear nor tobacco.

This plant has just one giant divided leaf on top.

No, no, and no.

It blooms a flower as tall as the plant itself, but only blooms rarely and when old enough. The flower is purple on this variety.

Eric, yes it is an Amorphophallus aka VOODOO LILY, but not var. titanum(the largest flower in the world, and stinkiest).

This one is "A. konjac" a bit smaller and grows a bit different. I was going to post another photo to help with ID.

A. konjac flower found on internet:

Wish I could see your photos of the konjac flower and leaf, but I have that dread "Red X" disease.
