Their interesting. Kojac is hardy to zone 6 or 7 ( if kepts fairly dry), have those sexy leaves, and in a few years a giant flower that smells like rotten meat. Werid, smelly, huge, fairly hardy.... and where it isnt hardy, you can dig it up like other aroids/bulbs etc... what more could you ask for??

The other one, is a bti harder to find info on, but Kojac theres tons of info on. Its used in food.
