I saw the Titum Arums in October 2005 - one had just finished flowering and the other was the one covered in the seeds. They are HUGE plants!!!

looks like a giant lugworm with a stick up its bottom - but that too tenuous a link to gardening, surely?

I'm leaning towards it being something like a palm or a banana plant. It really is quite ugly!!

Not bad Plocket - like the direction anyway, - it is certainly not a Lugworm with or without a stick up it's bottom.
