hi all....  i'm stumped on this plant... last year it died away before it flowered.... so I moved it to another part of the garden, and it's coming up nicely but no sign of any flowering (yet).  

It has a mottled stalk, and each leave that comes up has up to nine leaflets (if I'm using the botannical word correctly?).


Any ideas?

You have an Arum (post #18766, reply #1 of 1)

I am just seeing this post now. Sorry for not getting to this earlier, you may have resolved your mystery by now.

I believe you have a Dracunculus vulgaris or Dragon Arum. Check out Dave's Garden website. There are lots of photos of it there.
