Timelapse Video Of Corpse Flower Growing From Bulb Over 45 Days
I hope you enjoy this timelapse video of a corpse flower growing.
The corpse flower is a fascinating and rare plant that has the largest and smelliest flower in the world. The scientific name of the corpse flower is Amorphophallus titanum, which means giant, misshapen phallus in Ancient Greek1. The plant is native to the rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia, where it grows on limestone hills2. The corpse flower blooms only once every 7 to 10 years, and the bloom lasts for only 24 to 36 hours3. The flower emits a foul odor of rotting flesh, which attracts pollinators such as flies and beetles3. The flower can also heat up to 98 degrees Fahrenheit (36.7 Celsius) to mimic a warm-blooded animal3. The corpse flower is an endangered species, with fewer than 1,000 individuals left in the wild3. The corpse flower is a remarkable example of nature’s diversity and adaptation.
