Our 2023 Corpse Flower Blooming! #shorts

Jason shows our Amorphophallus titanum, (The Corpse Flower) that bloomed in mid-May 2023. This type of plant has the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world and an extremely stinky odor!

I love how cute and tiny it is in the beginning and then the flower is as tall as him if it was on the ground and beside him

We still have smaller ones...my father raised them for over 60 years and gave them away to many in Michigan.

That saturated maroon / magenta color on the lip of the petals is beautiful.

Does it actually smell like decaying flesh?? Fascinating, alien like flowers. I’m a marine biologist, plants never truly peaked my interest before. Lately I’m discovering how fascinating they can be too. 😮

So pretty. I wanna smell one of these one day.

is this only for conservation ...or do we have a use for something it produces ...dont get me wrong its my fave flower ...just wondering...it must eat like a big dog in nutrients

What is that orchid hanging in the background with huge burgundy leaves?

Question, if they do not bloom often how do you get pollen from another plant to pollinate them with?
