Amorphophallus titanum AKA corpse flower bloom

The otherworldly Amorphophallus titanum, aka corpse flower, produced its infamous inflorescence (largest unbranched in the world) inside Public Land Gallery. Its fragrance has been compared to rotting flesh, hence the nickname. It typically takes this plant 5-10 years before flowering for the first time and after that every couple of years depending on environment. We will also had a titanum in its vegetative stage on view for comparison.
