Also known as the titan arum, it’s famous for its enormous size and the pungent odor it emits when it blooms, resembling the smell of rotting flesh. Native to the rainforests of Sumatra, it can take years to bloom and only remains in bloom for a couple of days. The corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) is the largest unbranched inflorescence in the plant kingdom, boasts a powerful stink, and blooms for just 2-3 days once every year or two. The bloom can grow up to 8 feet tall! This plant fascinates visitors of all ages.
