Really nice night time shot.
Can't complain too loud about how the ball bounces when I'm the one who dropped it.

Oh I forgot one more. But it's not something I planted and actually I have no idea what it is or where it came from. Every year it grows back in the same spot and same time of year. I think I first noticed it about 20+ years ago. Sometimes it's reaches a height of 7 to 8 feet tall before it blooms. Can anyone help me find out what type of plant this is? I'm really interested in actually finding out what it is after all these years.

Oh yeah...the Voodoo...and you have only the one? There was one here which the hubs whacked down...and what I hear is that I don't want to let them get started.....LOL....did not know they would grow that tall. Isn't there another one that looks like the Voodoo, but isn't?

Are you thinking of Amorphophallus ? That is the Latin name for Voodoo lily

Probably. It's that age old problem of common names. Those are the ones I'm most likely to remember.

I'm not familiar with any of them outside of having had one or the other in Northern Ca and one here. Zu said they go crazy around her place and maybe that what I had was not a Voodoo......
