    Can anyone help me identify this garden plant at our new house.
    It grew from the ground as a long unside down cone shape with stripes on it and then turned into this beautiful follaged plant. It now has this strange single flower on it that smells foul and attracts fly's.
    Any info would be helpful
    Thanks

    have never seen one like that.possibly a pitcher plant of sorts.,probably smells foul to attract flies so it can catch and eat and digest them.looks really cool too!!
