About S. gutatus

In the spring, before the appearance of leaves, a 12–24” flower emerges from the ground, a purple- and gold-mottled vase-shaped structure around a tall purple spike. For two to three days, the flower gives off an odor variously described as cow manure, rotting flesh, dirty wet dog, or rat feces. Later, the hand-shaped leaves, up to two feet across, grow to three feet high.
