hello everyone.Today I'd like to start the topic from a extreme special plant─ titan arum.As it's name's meaning,the plant looks extremely “titanic”when it blooms. It is a flowering plant with the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world.An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches.Easily to say,it is a part of flower.However,it is useless to tell how big it is without showing picture.So the picture is here.

It is an amazing plant,isn't it?Or some of you may think that it is disgusting due to its looking.If you think so,your instinct is right because it will really make you disgusted on account of its flower's ordor.It is said that it smells like decomposing mammal.Due to the fact,titan arum has other names such as corpse flower,carrion flower,or corpse plant.Even people in Indonesia give this plant an Indonisian name called  bunga bangkai – bunga means flower, while bangkai can be translated as corpse, cadaver, or carrion.Despite it's uncute looking and smelling ordor,it is still an interesting and cool plant.I hope everyone enjoy learning this specific creature in front of the computer instead of approaching it and experiencing it's “bangkai” smell.

this is the introducting video of titan arum.Hope everyone can enjoy it.
