Orontium aquaticum, golden club, mysterious wetland plant, primitive, only member of its genus left in existence. What pollinates this? The literature (that I could find) indicates basically that we don't know. The flower is a bit stinky and has that, "I love flies" look to it, though. My highly technical search through Golden Club pictures online shows only one picture with an insect...which in this case might be a bee. No flies so maybe something comes at night, perhaps hobgoblins or baby elves. I assume that we will all be on the lookout for populations of this species to study.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See We are resolved into the supreme air, We are made one with what we touch and see, With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair, With our young lives each spring impassioned tree Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change. - Oscar Wilde
