Titan arum flower detail (2011)
Belgium. Meise.
National Botanic Garden.
Amorphophallus titanum, titan arum
The bulb has grown from 10 kg in 2008 to 47 kg now.
The bloom opened day before yesterday in the late afternoon. I expected the flower still to be open today, but alas, after only 1.5 days it's already closing and slowly dying.

It's the largest inflorescence in the world.
