Oh, I thought it might be originally endemic to the home planet of the Klingon Empire.

It has survived for a few years of so. This year there are 4 alien tentacles here and 1 leaf stalk in this horrible spot.

Below is the largest stalk, with what appears to be a flower forming. That spot has done that once before.

I have a third spot that has one medium stalk growing... not sure how it got there. The squirrels seem like they try to dig them up sometimes.

I see two different aroids in those photos. Neither is an amorphophallus. The one with the leaf and inflorescence forming is a dragon arum ( Dracunculus vulgaris), the other is Sauromatum venosum.

Cheers,

Yes.

No wonder I've been very, very, very confused. I have had two different plants growing.

This spring I bought another two bulbs that must be Venusom, and another potted plant (sold as an outdoor perennial) from another nursery that was a big spotted appendage spike that has now sprouted much greener leaves in a neater bouquet than that Vulgar Dragon. It might actually be real Konjac, I could put that new one in a pot.

Could this be A. konjac?

That last one very much looks like Konjac.
