Titan Arum (Corpse Flower)



Native to the equatorial rainforest of Central Sumatra in Western Indonesia, the Titan Arum is considered to be the smelliest flower in the world!  As the name suggests, this flower apparently smells like a rotting corpse.   Thankfully, the flowers only bloom every 4-6 years and only last for about 24-48 hours at a time.  The smell of rotten flesh, however, lingers in the air for days afterwards.  The Titan Arum flower can stretch to 3 metres and is actually not one flower but thousands of tiny flowers which botanists call infloresence.

From last month, showing how hard to grow a corpse flower in a greenhouse.

"Very few botanic gardens around the world have grown it - and it's rare to get one of this size," he said.

The corpse flower is now gone.

A nice place just close to the Yarra River in Melbourne.

Mr.Wilson had something similar to this in the movie Dennis the Menace.

Too bad it's so hard to grow. It would be a great to plant in the yard of a neighbor you don't like. acc_devil  ac_toofunny

Do what I did and place a bucket of old chicken on top of their car.  Even a chicken carcass or the bones would work too.

Oh gosh no!  If it was a nice hot day, I would choose fish.  Preferably hidden in the hub caps.
