    The only large single trumpet flower I can think of at the moment is a Datura, or Brugmansia.

    Hi All
    Thany you all,but Bob was right,it`s an Arum. Next question, i have a very wet patch of ground that floods after heavy rain,it`s so wet we have put membrane over it and covered it with stone chips. It slopes and on the slope it is workable soil i have planted through the membrane various plants and all are thriving.On the flat area where it floods,i have put all my plants in pots,and i was wondering if an Arum would thrive, the soil is quite heavy clay
