Amorphophallus Titanum

August 2008, Nationale Plantentuin Meise, Belgium
Het is geen bloem maar een bloeiwijze! ; )
On request :
It's not a flower, but an "inflorescence"! ; )
Close up picture of the inflorescence of the plant with the biggest flower-inflorescences currently known to man. If that is not special enough, it flowers only 72 hours, is about 1.6 meters high, and smells like rotten fish. It is the first time ever that this species of plant flowers in the country Belgium. It is attracting hordes of people from all over our country...
