Titan Arum, the biggest flower in the world, is blooming Tuesday for the first time in China at Beijing Botanical Garden after seven-year's nurturing.
The eight-foot plant has the largest unbranched shoot in the world. It produces umbrella-sized petals which open to a diameter of three to four feet. On average, they bloom once in a decade.
The Titan Arum plant, also known as the "Corpse Flower" due to its pungent smell of rotting flesh once it blooms, is native to the equatorial rainforests of central Sumatra in western Indonesia. Its distinctive smell is meant to attract pollinatorssuch as carrion beetles and flesh flies. |
