Titan Arum
ai generated text
The Titan Arum is a flowering plant native to the rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia. It has a distinctive flower that blooms infrequently and produces a powerful scent of rotting flesh to attract pollinators. The plant's life cycle includes the growth of a large leaf that can reach up to 6 meters tall and 5 meters across, and an underground tuber that stores energy for the plant. After a period of dormancy, the tuber produces a new leaf or an inflorescence, which is a tall spike of flowers wrapped in a spathe. The inflorescence heats up to 37°C and releases a powerful odor to attract carrion insects, which pollinate the plant.learn more on wikipedia
