World’s largest flower

The other name is “Titan Arum”, It is the largest unbranched flowering plant in the world. Titan Arum is also known as “The Corpse Plant” or “The Corpse Flower”,which smells like a “Rotting Corpse” (flesh) .

The name is derived from the Ancient Greek “Amorphos-without form” & “Phallus, Titan-Gaint”. The name Titan Arum was coined by “W.H.Hodge” and “Sir David Attenborough” ( as per records). The flower is a native to “Sumatra Islands”, Indonesia. The flower blooms on average once in a decade & lasts around 3 days before it wilts. It attracts all kinds of insects (beetles & flesh flies) to pollinate the bloom. Not all species of the plant smell awful. Some smell like fresh carrots while other smell like Bananas.

The flower can reach over 3 metres (i.e,10 Ft ) in height & weigh as much as 170 pounds. The petals are of deep green outside & dark red inside with a deep texture.

Scientifically it was described in the year 1878 by Italian Botanist “Odoardo Beccari”.

Usually it takes 7-10 years of vegetative growth before blooming (if it is for 1st time). These have variations in blooming. Some may bloom back to back within a year. While others may bloom every 2 to 3 years. The large petals usually opens up between mid afternoon & late evenings and remains in the same condition all night.

👉The Rafflesia Arnoldii👈

This rare flower is found in the rain forests of Indonesia. It grows up to 3 feet across & weigh up to 15 pounds!! It has no leaves, roots or stem. It consumes water and nutrients through a host plant. It emits an odor of rotting flesh just like “Titan Arum”, in order to attract insects. Rafflesia was first discovered by ” Louis Deschamps”, but his illustrations weren’t available until 1861. Later it was found in Sumatra Islands by ” Joseph Arnold” in 1818.

Rafflesia Arnoldi (padma Raksasa) also known as “Kerubut” was declared as one of the rare flowers.

The flower bud production has been reduced at many areas due to disturbance created by human activities. There is no exact information regarding the survival of these plants.
