It sounds like the corpse flower at the Mitchell Park domes is going to be in full bloom for the next 24 hours.

#Milwaukee #CorpseFlower

Two Amorphophallus titanium flower buds. The one on the left is nearly 5 feet tall (1.5 m). The left one is about a week from opening up. Their leaf form resembles a tree form. This leaf form resembles a tree shape. This tree shape is in fact a one single leaf that grows from a tuber, like potatoes.

#CorpseFlower In the Encinitas botanical garden this plant blooms about every three years and smells like rotting flesh. Short lived bloom is happening now.

It won't be much longer before this Corpse Flower blooms! Here is how much it has grown in just the past 3 days.

Looks like we have a corpse flower about to bloom in the greenhouse! Get ready to hold your nose!

#corpseflower #titanarum

The corpse flower, the largest unbranched influorescence in the world. Amorphophallus titanum,  native to Sumatra, its massive flower smells like a dead body when it blooms, it only blooms for 24 to 36 hours every 4 to 7 years. Its first bloom can take over 10 years!

It's happening! Temple Ambler has a corpse flower that is almost ready to bloom. Once it blooms I'll share an image and probably sketch it too. But as of right now the flower is 62 inches tall and still growing.

Might have to take the morning off one day this week.

The Corpse Flower is blooming again at the New York Botanical Gardens.

I’m sure you’ve seen one of these on the internet before. Or maybe IRL!

This is a #Amorphophallustitanum… the largest stemmed flowering plant (an inflorescence - ie a cluster of flowers arranged on a single stalk) on earth.

It is native to the island of Sumatra in western Indonesia.

The first pic is from the #Cairns #Botanicgardens, #Queensland #Australia (2022).

Intriguing info:

The Amorphophallus titanum is also known as the "#corpseflower" because of its pungent smell when it blooms.

The odour is designed to attract carrion flies for pollination by imitating the stench of a dead animal.

Some #Amorphophalli will go through an entire life cycle in three or four years, although most (a #titanarum, pictured) can be expected to live for several decades.

The titanarum stores energy in its corm, or underground stem. This energy (food) is later used to fuel the rapid growth, following a period of dormancy.

Usually takes 4–10 years or more between flowerings (ie, for a titanarum).

The corm can weigh around 70–90 kg (154–200 pounds).

While in bloom, the plant structure generates heat, more than 90 °F (32 °C)

They typically grow around 2.5m (8 feet) tall. Some grow larger.

How intriguing!
