Phallic symbol or what ?

Have a good look at the picture coz it ain`t gonna remain that way for long. In about a week, it`s gonna transform itself into a 3 feet high flower. What`s amazing about this plant is that the flower reeks of rotting flesh odour which even rivals the famed Rafflesiana. It is a tuber plant & has dormant periods & food gathering periods. Right now, it is going through it`s `I want to look beautiful` stage. Haw haw. Will post an update on the flower next week.
