Hey my all steemit friends.. Today I tell you about a very interesting flower.. The Corpse Flower , which is taller than a man....OMG!!!

Image source

So, the scientific name of this flower is Amorphophallus titanium.  The largest plant in the world with the largest unbranched  inflorescence. The Corpse Flower blooms rarely and only for a short time... I ts funny how that the largest plant but live short..

Lower part of the spathe cover with male and female flowers and that two opens at different time to avoid pollination. so that's means a hundred's of flower work together to function as one. 

The corpse flower can take almost 7 years to bloom and some corpse flowers only bloom once every few decades.

But this flower has also very interesting smell... like rotting meats..

This smell attract some pollinators like carrion eating beetles or flesh flies that pollinate the flower...

So.. this is the life story of The Corpse flower.. If you like please upvote/comment/resteem

Thank you...
