    can you look at this flower and let me know if you know what it is?

    The flies seem to love it, but I can't smell anything at all. I have been trying to figure it out, but I don't know where to look anymore.

    Its very big about a foot and a half long and the whole plant is about three feet tall.

    Yep, Dracunculus vulgaris.

    You are lucky not to be able to smell it! Most people (and your local flies!) find it stinks of rotten meat.
