A voodoo lily is one of one or two different sorts of blooming plants that are noted for their extraordinary colours and strong stink.
There are 1 or 2 different plants that are commonly referred to as voodoo lilies, though the most typical are often those known as Typhonium venosum, Dracunculus vulgaris, or Amorphophallus bulbifer. These plants frequently grow in late winter or early spring, can vary in colour from shades of pink or light purple to strenuously dark violets, and sometimes emit a perfume like decomposing flesh. A voodoo lily of any of these types can be discovered all across the globe and can be quite outstanding in areas like India, parts of Africa, and the US. Typhonium venosum is among the commonest plants, particularly in America, frequently referred to as a voodoo lily. These plants grow from bulbs in long, brown stalks that sometimes reach to about three feet ( about 0.9 meters ) in height.
They grow pretty well in full shade and a considerable number of huge leaves, of mottled brown and purple colour, frequently grow round the base of the stalk. The stalk ends in a purple or brown bloom that’s regularly quite striking, and may range all the way from violet and red to puce or brown.
