Tacca chantrieri is also known as “Cat Whiskers” or “Bat Flower”. It is named after the long bracts that emanate from the flower scape. This flowering plant is part of the yam family. For more like this, see my latest blog.

Thank you Milky. I'm glad you like it. This was done by a botanical artist. I've posted the entire exhibit with all the details in my latest blog: Weird, Wild & Wonderful! (an art exhibit). I hope you enjoy it, :) Paul
