According to AI:
This is an Amorphophallus konjac plant in bloom, also known as the Voodoo Lily or Devil's Tongue.

Araceae of some kind, e.g. like a "peace lily"

This is why the places producing plants should label them properly, not just call everything 'Flowering plant'.

It's a big thing, isn't it? Really cool. Wouldn't say it's beautiful, but these things tick the weird and exotic boxes.

A few years ago Kew had a Titan Arum in flower, a properly rare event that only lasts a few days. Titan Arum is your devil's tongue's big cousin.

Perhaps. I assumed it was like mine, which shows indoors and outdoors.
