Dragon Lily

view map

The distinctive red Lily petal and the black Spadix caught my eye.
It's similar to the more common (White colored) Italian Arum.

During its peak blooming phase, the plant emits a potent stench resembling rotting meat, which attracts flies for pollination.

My first sighting of this Lily in McClellan Ranch Park.

Very different flower. You had me until I got to the " potent stench" part... :-)
