The Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum) has bloomed in the Botanical Garden in Berlin, Germany. This rare event is a highlight for plant enthusiasts and visitors alike.
The bloom of the Titan Arum is a fascinating spectacle, lasting only three days. The plant emits an intense carrion-like odor to attract insects for pollination, especially on the first day.
The Titan Arum is a perennial plant from the Araceae family, forming an underground tuber that can weigh over 100 kg. Its habitat, the rainforest, is increasingly being destroyed, making this bloom particularly noteworthy.
