What plant is this?

United Kingdom 
I live in buckinghamshire & this has sprung up in a corner of my garden, it's started off curled up around the prong & has just formed a green bulb underneath the flower. I'm just looking for a name & how it grew there so unexpectedly.

I have one (Draconulus Vulgaris) & the stink is unbelievable.
It didn't flower this year,but appears to have set some offsets.When is a good time to repot,as according to the info that came with it, it's borderline hardy.

You are so lucky! We paid quite a bit of money for our plant! It only stinks as it is pollinated by flies which assume the flower is dead meat!

Dragon Arum, Arum dracunculus.
Probably a bird dropped a seed. Its related to the native arum that grows in woodland with orange berries around this time of year.
Smells unbelievable badfor a few days when in flower
when in flower and will die down in few weeks and reappear in spring with large pointed arrow head leaves.
Lovley plant to have but poisonous.
Look it up on RHS website or google it
