Hi Bonnie,

I was given something called a "voodoo lily" that I believe to be a part of the Amorphophallus genus (Amorphophallus bulbifer). It was given to me in a pot and I planted it in the ground. Last spring, it popped up and grew foliage and I got what kind of looked like a small tree out of it. Over winter the "tree" died back and it went dormant. This spring, I have what appears to be the "flower" coming up.

Honestly, I do almost nothing to it and let Mother Nature take care of it. It is in a fairly shady area and gets dappled sun. If we have not gotten sufficient rain within the week, I will put some water on it, but other than that, I leave it alone.
