The titan arum, otherwise known as the corpse flower, at the Meise Botanic Garden is expected to bloom this week. While it only blooms for 72 hours, it’s not called a corpse flower because it lies dormant the rest of the year. It’s called a corpse flower because of its smell.
That’s not the only notable thing about the titan arum. As its Latin name
Amorphophallus titanium suggests, it has a specific and unusual shape, with one central, erm, shaft shooting up from its massive leaves. It is the largest flower in the world, with a height of 1.5 to three metres.
