This is one of my favorite cobra lilies. This easy-to-grow species emerges on a thick petiole (stalk) that reaches 3' in late spring. Atop the giant petiole is an unusual green and purple tinged pitcher (spathe) with a 12" long tongue (spadix) that curves out of the flower and stands erect and ready for some action! The horseshoe-shaped leaf, held on the stalk just below the flower, boasts over a dozen leaflets...spectacular!
