Sauromatum nubicum

This Voodoo Lily is an enormous eye-catcher in your garden! After a few years, a tuber develops, which can also bloom dry in the spring: an enormous spathe with an equally long spadix emerges from the tuber. The flowers grow larger as the tuber grows. The color is cream with brownish-red speckles and because this is a carrion flower (which needs flies for pollination) a sickly sweet smell emanates from the flowers, not a good idea to bring them indoors during flowering, or perhaps it is as a joke...
If the resulting tubers are planted about 20 cm deep in well-draining soil, they will survive the winter very well; you can also overwinter the tubers cool and dry in a shed. After the unusual flowering, enormous leaves emerge on speckled, thick stems. Each leaf divides in a beautiful way.
