Last month I was lucky to see a titan arum in full bloom in its native Sumatra. This is the world's largest unbranched inflorescence (i.e. flowering structure) and truly massive: rising up to 3 metres, it is a feat of botanical engineering, and a wonder of the natural world.
@thorogoodchris1 @HendyGardenLove Wow. What a fantastical bloom, Chris... The range of ways plant and animal life are so delicately entwined to ensure each thrives is truly magnificent. How amazing to experience these sort of wonders in their native habitat...
@thorogoodchris1 And you can't find a canvas big enough to paint it, right?
@thorogoodchris1 How smelly was it?! Amazing to see in the wild.. 😊
@thorogoodchris1 Aaaamazing! Wish I could experience that😍
@thorogoodchris1 Like something from a magical fantasy land, Chris.
