    Yep, looks like Arum palaestinum. Gorgeous black Calla lily I believe. Not jealous at all 😭

    Arum flowers trap insects at the stinky, bulbous base of the flower. See that it propably has downwards pointing hairs on the inside of the neck bit. It keeps insects inside while the stamens have dry pollen ready. A day later or so, the insects are released as the hairs wither, and they pollinate the next flower. Really cool stuff.
