Amorphophallus titanum

Amorphophallus titanum
Giant arum. Native of Sumatra. Flowers once in 10 years and smells like carrion. This 2 meter specimen was in the Adelaide Hills botanic Garden, near my home. It had been cultivated for 10 years. This giant flower lasts a mere 48 hours. The carrion smell attracts flies to pollinate the plant.
Taken with my phone

"Taken with my phone." We didn't say that when I was a boy. Would have sounded like "Taken with my shoe." You can probably do that now, too.

Glad you caught it, Diana. I heard a report on the news of its opening - does it really smell so putrid?
8 years ago.
Diana Australis club has replied to tiabunna club
Actually, with the doors of the glasshouses open, it was merely mildly unpleasant. I heard that it was deadly when they opened up in the morning after it had filled the place overnight!

Oh, I saw this on the news! Did it really smell horrible? No matter how much I stare at it, I can't really believe it! Evolutionary wonder.

Diana Australis club has replied to Diane Putnam club
It was not too bad...the door of the glasshouse was open....thus it was just moderately smelly.
It certainly was a remarkable specimen....like something from a sci fi movie.
