Please help ID.
Wonder if it is edible.
Thx.
The 3rd pic is the flower, it used to be full red ball / sphere shaped. This one is wilting.

This is an interesting one. The closest I could come to finding one like it was Solomon's Seal, but it's not the same. Let's see if @Iochroma has any ideas

The third one looks so weird, I bet it's poisonous.

I should probably mentioned that all three pictures are from the same plant. The first one shows the leaves, second is the steam and some smaller newly growth , and third is the flower of the plant, but passed the peak, wilting down now.

I'm sure I have seen this, but its name is not coming to me. I think it is a South African bulb, and probably like most of those, fairly poisonous. I would really like to see a pic of the flower when it produces the next one.

I was doing a Google search for this plant and came across the Italian arum, which has berries similar to the picture above, so I searched for Indonesian arum. I didn't find your plant, but was amazed at something I DID find:

Oh My Lord In Heaven!!!! I'd love to be able to grow something like this here in my climate.

Probably poisonous means we keep it out of our tortoises, better be safe.
Having said that, one of my brown mountain tortoise ate maybe one leaf few months back, didn't seem to have any ill effect.
Thanks, will post a pic of flower next time it blossoms.

Haha, you probably will regret planting that once it blossom, it smells like rotten dead animals, attracts tons of flies.

The Manouria tortoises can eat lots of plants that are not good for other tortoises. Don't use them as an indicator.

Yeah, I am aware of that.
I think we still do not have any scientific explanation on how they can consume those colocasia plants with no ill effect.

You can grow,this: Amorphophallus konjac

The plant produces another flower, so I guess I should update here ...
A friend told me the common name is blood lily.
I did a check on wiki, seems correct but I can't say for sure which species.

 

[Iochroma]

I found it: Scadoxus. Poisonous.
