Please help ID

Could you please help me ID this plant- it is growing like a weed in our yard- the flower looks a little like an orchid but it is growing where it doesn't get any water just fine. The center of the flower has a stinky, sticky substance, and as you can see from the photo, it is producing a fruit that looks almost like squash.

 

Proboscidea sp.

 

Any idea if I could find this up in BC anywhere???? Very cool.

 

Not one to plant! A nasty weed.

 

oh i don't know, with a few exceptions of grossly invasive species in our particular climate, i think that weeds are largely a matter of opinion : )

 

Well, if you really want the vicious sharp hooked spines on the seed pods, it's up to you - but most people detest them!

 

While I agree that the term "weed" is a matter of opinion, in most cases, there is a reason that label is relevant in some cases. =P

 

Thanks for the quick response/ID. This has beautiful flowers, and several unique features to the plant, including the "fruit".
