Look what popped up
We have a few of these Arum (Aruu? Ari?) in our garden. Anyone care to help with identification?
p.s. Yes, they’re rather poisonous. We’ll collect all the berries if (when) they come up.

Oooh! Another little Bucky! Similar to it’s larger cousin the Amorphophallus titanum (and our little cousin the Amorphophallus bulbifer), this looks to be a member of the Amorphophallus family, commonly referred to as Voodoo Lillies. I would venture to guess it might be something like Amorphophallus konjac (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphophallus). Is is very stinky?
