I,m in the fern garden today , pulling weeds mostly !
Thrilled to find my Voodoo Lily is flowering for the first time ... I know with that name it is probably not the most appropriate flower to choose as my Sunday Flower !
It cant help its sinister looks ! I think it is gorgeous anyway !
I bought the little corms from someone on Ebay a year or two ago .
I love the markings on its stems.
I just have to go in and look at this close up ...
It is supposed to smell of rotting meat , to attract flies which pollenate the flower.....but I cant smell anything , maybe it is too soon . It has only just opened , so maybe the perfume develops after a few days ? Anyone know ?
Outrageous Sunday Flower !
