Two rare Indonesian Amorphophallus titanium, or arum titan, flowers bloomed simultaneously at London’s Royal Botanical Garden. <br /><br />Arum titan flowers are known to grow over 2 meters in height, while emitting the odor of a decaying corpse. This smell has given it the nickname of the “corpse flower”. <br /><br />These flowers often take over 5 years to bloom, but only survive for up to 48 hours before wilting. <br /><br />Botanists now say they will use the two flowers to cross pollinate each other and store their pollen.<br /><br />#London #botany #nature #plants #flowers #botanical #horticulture #flower #gardening #flora
