Local Amorphophallus
 
This local A. paeoniifolius is quite easy to grow and flower but not stinky. The stem of the plant has characteristic 'nodules'.

The flower shown in the picture is about 1.5ft diameter, not smelly at all. But I think in hte wild, the flower can get much bigger.

Not sure if it is self polinated or it needs different plant to polinate. But my guess is it is self polinate and have seeds as sometimes I found little amor. have self growing somewhere in my garden far away from the mother plant.:confused:

BoonLeng, I think the mother plant has tuber of about 4 inches diameter. The plant is not planted to the ground.
