Karen conn on Aug 24, 2012walter and douglas, thank u both for the information.i did research w/your imput and it is voodoo lily, devils tongue, and has a few other nick names too. so now i wondered what my "voodoo lily" really was cause it is wild looking, but nothing like the plant we were talking about in my picture. well it is a arum - corntum. it has a spotted long leaf and a spike coms up from the inside of that. now i have the correct name for both,thanks.Helpful Reply
