I was poking around the bed next to the garage and lookee here! A few years ago I had a voodoo bulb and it did nothing so I tossed it. Could this be it??? I have never seen any leaves...so I am not sure. You what do you think????
Surprise : )
Kim, what a nice suprise! Yepper, that's it the real Mccoy voodoo lily. lol. That's good news all around, if it survive your winter, it should do well in most places!!!
Yes, could be your missing Voodoo bulb or - could be a Martian ground tentacle!
Here was mine last year, Kim for comparision.

It is very hard to ID something like this but on a guess. I would say Dracunculus Vulgaris or an Arisaema species.
Thanks for your input everyone. I got that thing before I knew anything about it or DG lol! Very funnneeee LariAnn : )
So is this the start of a bloom or will leaves emerge??
Looks like a leaf to me.
Cool ; }
Don't you just love Spring?! Do keep us posted with the progress!
.....could be a Martian ground tentacle!
ROTFLMBO!! LariAnn
Ciao, KK
Will do kniphofia! KK she got jokes ; } lol..I will post a pic later today.
Hello all! Well here she is : ) I really like the leaves.Will it flower next year?
I was right Dracunculus Vulgaris
Thanks Brian!!
Here is a picture of mine that flowered a few years ago. I think mine is going to flower again this year but it's still a bit early to tell.
That's out of this world, exotic!!!
Wow! That is awesome! I hope I get a bloom : ) Hi Kim!
Hi Kim, from Kim. :-)

Kim, please add pix as it develops. Thank you, for sharing with us thus far.

You know I will!
Cheers : )
Happy Easter, my friend.
Hi Kim,
A while back on the forum we had a bit of a rash of interest in this plant. This thread in particular had some great photos:
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/718715/ and here is one of my plants flowering in 2007, in spite of it being far too hot and underwatered! I feel like a bad plant mother! but the house moves have really stuffed my life up in the last few years.
I have no photos from the 2008 season at all because I had just moved into this house and the Dracunculus pots were under the lemon tree in the new back yard, just coming into bud, when there was a massive cat fight overnight
and all of the just about to flower stems were either bent over or snapped off - GRRR! (the house to the back of me appears to have an entire colony of cats living there - I have counted at least six different black and white coat patterns and there was a litter of 4 kittens this spring! - I think these people are irresponsible idiots but that's a whole different rant) Fortunately, the tubers survived the experience and I will be replanting them soon, now that the cooler autumn weather is coming in. When I say cooler, that's a relative term mind you - we hit a daytime high of 116F this summer, but it is still over 85F in my back yard today. The nights are better though now, mostly in the mid 50s, which seems to make the plants a lot happier than they were during the January heatwave when we didn't get a night under 70F for over two weeks with several nights exceeding 90F!
I sense another rant coming on, so I'll say TTFN,
Ciao, KK.
Thanks Kim I pray you have a wonderful Easter!
Wow thanks for the link KK! That was some cat fight...shame on the owners! Glad your tubers survived. Happy planting : ) But what is TTFN??? LOL
Kim
OOPS! TTFN = Ta-Ta For Now! LOL! (I know you know what THAT one means!)
TTFN, KK
aaahhh ;-}
Kim, just wanted to share with you. This maybe 'Green Dragon' (?) that Jan has sent me several for a trade last year. I've two that are blooming now. The leaves are not seen yet, but here comes the bloom. Gotta hold my breath, and won't get too close to the flower though. LOL (my first blooms ever).
How kewl is that!!!!Pretty and stinky ; }
Stinky 'twas it's! LOL but it so kewl looking. lol.
LOL! Looks good with it's pot buddies to : )
Kim, I've several brugmansias planted in the same pot. I hope they'll return. Yours? Are they up and running for the season yet?
Ha! funny you should ask that..I killed each one I put in the basement ; { But I have some others planted in the ground that are looking good!
Okay, good lucks with those, over and out. Keep touch and share more pix in the future. :-)
Rodger that! : )
^_^
Update: my flower wilted, and no new growth has returned to the plant that I showed above. Here is another one that I've in a hanging basket, this morning I found a new leaf emerges! Woohoooo!
Hi Lily_love,
That was some flower! I am glad you have another one to carry on with. You may find that your flowering plant will now produce several smaller plants - just keep checking the ground area for emerging leaves. I am not sure WHAT your plant is, based on the flower you showed us, but I WANT one! I don't believe it is 'Green Dragon', because as far as I know that name is applied to an Arisaema cultivar.
From the look of the photo the flower is quite close to the ground so it may be an Arum of some sort. Do you have a picture of the adult leaves you could show us?
Ciao, KK.
Way kewl Kim!!! Hello KK : )
Kity, I found a sprouting of new leave from the faded flower Voodoo lily. I've the picture of the plant last year. Tomorrow, I'll see if I can search the pix for you.
Thanks Kim.
