According to google lens, it is This plant is identified as Dracunculus vulgaris, commonly known as the Dragon Lily or Voodoo Lily

I confirm, it is a Dracunculus vulgaris, see here https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracunculus_vulgaris

I have some at home, but keep them away from the house because they stink and attracts flies that pollinate it

It is a tuberous araceae.

That plant is related to the giant "corpse plant" i believe. You will have to see it bloom to enjoy the reaking scent of a cadaver.

Other araceae smell of corpses, notably the amorphophallus.
