Titan Arum Flower:
The Titan Arum flower, one of the world’s largest flowers, bloomed in Australia. It grows over 10 feet tall and blooms once a decade.It has a tall, pale yellowish phallic structure rising from the centre. The base of the flower has a ‘corm’ which is an underground energy-storing structure that supports its 10 year bloom cycle and 6-month fruiting period. It mimics the stench of rotting flesh to attract its pollinators — carnivorous bees and flies that feed on corpses. Pollination by flies on rotten meat-smelling plants is called Sapromyophily.
