The botanical garden in Leiden is a great place for plant lovers! I visit it regularly. One of the highlights for me is the collection of penisplants.
The first image shows two Amorphophallus Gigas in bloom at the garden in 2023. A flowering penis plant always attracts a lot of attention. For those who are interested, you can click on the following link for a short video by a news program: https://www.hartvannederland.nl/algemeen-nieuws/artikelen/reuzenpenisplant-trekt-veel-bekijks-tijdens-bloei
My daughter and I appear briefly in the video.
The second picture is a screenshot of a timelapse when the Amorphophallus Titanum bloomed in 2022. In the screenshot you see me with my daughter on my shoulders and my son in the baby carrier. My wife is waiting for me with the stroller under a large leaf of a Leucocasia Gigantea 'Thailand Giant' - she always has to wait for me when we are in the garden haha.

I have the webcam of #Sydney 's #CorpseFlower on in the background today. It's amazing, it's opening up as we watch! I'm so glad the #Aussies are enjoying it.

@fraying has been growing an Amorphophallus titanum from seed that someone mailed him 13 years ago.
It’s a big bulb and it’s grown a tree like plant every year. This year… It’s going to flower. It’s incredibly rare and mostly blooms in conservatories.
BLM! 
There are still things in this world that give more than they receive, the corpse flower is one of those. What a wonder.

Watch Live: CSU’s Corpse Flower is Expected to Bloom for the First Time
Visited Walter Andersen Nursery in Poway this morning to see their Corpse lily bloom.
Looks like it was fully open Wednesday night into Thursday morning but still an awesome thing to see, especially since we missed the one in Encinitas a few weeks ago.

I’m sure you’ve seen one of these on the internet before. Or maybe IRL!
This is a #Amorphophallustitanum… the largest stemmed flowering plant (an inflorescence - ie a cluster of flowers arranged on a single stalk) on earth.
It is native to the island of Sumatra in western Indonesia.
The first pic is from the #Cairns #Botanicgardens, #Queensland #Australia (2022).
Intriguing info:
The Amorphophallus titanum is also known as the "#corpseflower" because of its pungent smell when it blooms.
The odour is designed to attract carrion flies for pollination by imitating the stench of a dead animal.
Some #Amorphophalli will go through an entire life cycle in three or four years, although most (a #titanarum, pictured) can be expected to live for several decades.
The titanarum stores energy in its corm, or underground stem. This energy (food) is later used to fuel the rapid growth, following a period of dormancy.
Usually takes 4–10 years or more between flowerings (ie, for a titanarum).
The corm can weigh around 70–90 kg (154–200 pounds).
While in bloom, the plant structure generates heat, more than 90 °F (32 °C)
They typically grow around 2.5m (8 feet) tall. Some grow larger.
How intriguing!

A titan arum is flowering in the botanic gardens! This wonderful alien creature will be in bloom for 24-48 hours and smells like a dead rat (or a washed rind cheese i would probably eat). A must see/must sniff #amorphophallustitanum #corpseflower #radelaide
