Corpse Flower

Corpse Flower
Corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) in full bloom at the New York Botanical Garden (Bronx, New York)—June 28, 2019

The Corpse Flower is native to Sumatra, Indonesia. Blooms are rare and unpredictable. Each plant takes 7-10 years to store sufficient energy to bloom. When in bloom, each flower emits a pungent smell similar to rotting meat, which attracts insect pollinators that feed on dead animals.

I once saw her many years ago in Bonn (Germany) in the Botanical Garden. She has a stinking smell.
But the blossom is like in a beautiful plissee-dress.

They are amazing! Our Botanical Gardens in Adelaide has a heap of them and usually you get a bloom every year or so from one of the collection. They are mighty beasts.,
