This is one of many pages describing plants and animal life
that we have in our garden. In many cases, we don't know what they are. Comments welcome.
By default the photos on this page are relatively small (“thumbnails“). Click

This plant grows from a tuber. I thought that this was a kind of lily, but that doesn't seem
to be correct. Conceivably it's
a Dracunculus vulgaris,
which is related to the Arum lily, though the
photos of the leaves I've seen on the web don't quite match. Leonne tells me the same, and
that they smell like rotting meat, something that I haven't observed yet.
The photos of the root detail show the plants intermixed with some violets, which obviously
aren't related.
