There was nothing easy about this, I have never seen a mature specimen of this plant, but I hope I will one day. I have a small one in my  green use in Norway, grown from a small tuber I got from you  last year. I hope it has survived while I a here in Greece.

It was a bit difficult as it was the inside of the spathe tube and rather like that of Dracunculus vulgaris.
