DOUBLE writes: I have voodoo lilies as well. The spike is it's flower. Doesn't smell good though, it attracts flies to polinate. Beautiful foliage! Posted: 1:45 pm on August 18th
stepheagle07 writes: It is a voodoo but also looks very much like the anterium (little boy) plant. If it were an antherium the inside pointer(?), would have some little bumps on it and as it gets old they shed off onto the leaves. It could be one of its' relatives that grow more here than in the troplical areas. Posted: 3:19 pm on August 17th

Looks like a voodoo lily to me also. The link above has a whole page of pictures that you might find helpful. You didn't mention any odor however - does it have one? Posted: 9:06 am on June 16th
