bat plant

plan your scary halloween garden for next year by planting a Tacca chantrieri or bat plant today. they do sell seeds for this terrifying flower, but it takes two to three years to grow in green house conditions (read: hot and humid) to produce a plant.
think i will try a bulb: very scary!

  2. I don't think that it looks like a bat, more like an alien! It's awesome!
