Corpse flower. What species? and when will it bloom again?

i live in the philippines and about 2 years ago... someone gave us this weird white horn shape thing that looked likesome type of crop root that they found in forest... when we planted the thing in our backyard it grew into a red shaped cone structure.. it didn't look like it had much of a stem or anything...


when it bloomed as the title says... it smelled like a rotting rat... and it even gave out heat if you were close enough to touch it haha... this species was quite small compared to the bigger one's ive seen online...


it wilted away within a day or two... and went away completely..the next year it grew into a green tree like structure with like white spots all over it and it felt really bumpy.. and then just wilted away too after some time...


i jjst wanna know what species it could be...


the flower petals when it bloomed were a burgundy color but the cone structure was more yellow.. =] well hope someone can help distinguish it ..thanks =]

The scienntific name of this plant is Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum, a member of Family Araceae. Of the sources I consulted, no one was willing to predict closer than "several years" between bloomings, but one of them bloomed a second time almost four years to the day after it bloomed the first time.
