Tacca Chantrieri aka Black Bat Lilly

First saw these @ the old Bedok Garden & Nursery but they were rare then and prices were crazy. I managed to find one @ Chaktuchak a green paradise for me and I never fail to find something I like on every trip. It was being sold as a herb by an old vendor and it didn't take much haggling before the deal was closed. This one has grown really large but suffered from rot after I attempted to propagate it by cutting. It has since recovered and is now doing well. My dog however loves it's seedpod and like to eat them as snack. I managed to find a beautiful white version but the dogs got to it before I could get it to flower so the search is on again.......
