I spotted this beautiful dragon arum lurking in the shadow of some large trees in a forgotten strip of dirt in an industrial area.

This is one of those arums that are smelly to attract flies to pollinate it. I have a poor sense of smell though, so i couldn't smell it

@MLE_online Reminds me of a tiny corpse flower, and I see now that they are related.

I'm pondering whether I can dig up a corm from it and bring it home so I can have my own

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@Asymmetricblue they are indeed! the arums seem to have a penchant for smelling gross

Dig it up! Dig it up!

@MLE_online YOLO

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@j it's not about me living once. It's about me not wanting to kill it

[j@mahalo.social]

@MLE_online Fair enough. I hope you’re successful if you decide to go for it!

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@danielbowmaniel i need to consider whether i can do it without harming it

Tread with care, it could be a young Triffid!
