Can anyone tell me the name of it is not so common flowers ...?
Was hiking, to Mount Banahaw, Philippines and my uncle and saw this beautiful flowers, green but leave the flowers are about 8in. mine shape, 4in around the base, deep red velvety texture. I dug it and took it home and the next day, neighbors complained of a stinking smell, to my shame it comes from the flowers, smelt a dead mouse. Just laughed it off and brought it home in the city.
It can dranuculus (my first guess based on the description) http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/2034/ corpse plant (Titan Arum) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_arum rafflesia http://www.lostworldarts.com/asia/rafflesia_2. htm or last but not least the elephant foot yam http://www.fieldmuseum.org/vanishing_treasures/V_EFYam.htm
