Tacca chantrieri ( Black bat flower )

We, my wife , our son and I , visit last weekend a
Hortus botanicus. ( in the town Utrecht ) and did take , of-course , pic. This week I `ll share them with you. Our country do have 5 x a Hortus and about a 20 botanical gardens. This plant I`ve seen before in a shop to sell but I was not able to get a pic of it . So I was glad I found one here .

Best viewed large!
