This exotic flower originates from equatorial tropical forests in Sumatra Province, western Indonesia, and is technically named Indonesia's Giant Calf Tree (Amorphophallus titanum) . They only grow in tropical forests in Sumatra and rarely bloom. The flower tree in Cornell is one of the 140 ever-blooming trees in history.

Scavenger flowers bloom.

'This is an interesting experience. We brought part of Sumatra to New York City, "said Karl Niklas, Cornell University gardener.

Cornell has returned to the flowering period of the strange giant tree, so that those who are interested in far away have the opportunity to look, though they cannot smell 'scent' like scent.

The corpses bloom for the first time when they are 7 to 10 years old, and a few years later continue to bloom. The corpse of the corpse emitted a smell like the smell of rotting meat. In nature, unpleasant odors plus dark purple petals have the effect of seducing flies and cockroaches, which are often scavenged.

The giant petals that are opened are called mo, while the pointed tip in the middle is called the moat. This giant flower is actually made up of thousands of small flowers that botanists call inflorescence.

While cultivating this plant, researchers must play the role of insects and hand fertilize flowers. The video of the hatching process of the scavenger flower is posted on the Cornell University blog: http://bhort.bh.cornell.edu/Atitanum/index.html.
