Titan arum
Titan Arum is native to Indonesia sSumatra, but is becoming scarce due to logging, farming, and the flower s use as an aphrodisiac. The plant itself is quite spectacular, reaching heights of twelve feet, but the flower is even more amazing. A plant blooms once every 6-10 years. The flower is over 5 feet tall and 4 feet across. It has a huge phallic-like spadix emerging from the center of the flower, which may partially explain the flower s use as an aphrodisiac. The stench from the bloom, often compared to rotting animal flesh, is intended to attract carrion eating beetles to the flower in order to pollinate it.
Covid cases at Skilled Nursing Facilities Remain Low
Jul. 07, 2021 at 1:00 pm
Cases at skilled nursing facilities plummeted since staff and residents began receiving vaccinations and remain low. For the week ending June 20, nearly 30,000 COVID-19 tests were completed among skilled nursing facility staff and residents and only seven people tested positive for COVID-19; one new case among residents and six new cases among staff; the majority of these cases are among unvaccinated individuals. For comparison, the last week of December 2020, a total of 2,532 people tested positive for COVID-19; 1,423 cases among residents and 1,109 cases among staff.
Currently, 84% of skilled nursing facility staff and 84% of skilled nursing facility residents are fully vaccinated. The low case rates at skilled nursing homes reflects these high vaccination rates.
Also known as Bunga Bangkai, the Corpse Flower, or Amorphophallus Titanium
The titanarum is, by one definition, the world s largest flower. It is an Indonesian plant that blooms only rarely and unpredictably in its 40 year life, and emits an intense stench of rotting flesh for about eight hours of its 3 day bloom when it does so. There are only a few dozen of these endangered 6 foot plants in botanical centers, and when they bloom they attract quite a crowd both for the novelty and to experience the stench, which attracts the carrion-eating beetles which pollinate it.
Well, that depends on how you define largest
