Two scavengers blooming at the same time in America

Two blooming scavenger flowers in a botanical garden in the US are extremely rare events, attracting the attention of the scientific and public.

Two 2.1-meter scavengers in Chicago's Botanical Garden , USA all bloomed, attracting thousands of visitors to visit over the weekend, though the smell of rotting flesh emanating from them entailed many bugs. Hard wings and flies come to pollinate, according to Phys.org.

"Two blooming flowers at the same time are very rare," said Greg Mueller, senior scientist at the Chicago Botanical Garden.

The Chicago botanical garden has been in contact with other institutions around the world and has been confirmed by a similar event that happened only a few times before, but has never happened in North America.

The rare scavenger flowers have the scientific name of titanium arum , only naturally grown on Sumatra island, Indonesia and are threatened by deforestation. Botanical gardens around the world are cultivating and preserving scavenger flowers.

Titan arum takes 10 years to flower. Their large flowers give off a scent of scent to attract insects, but only last about a day.

The Chicago botanical garden will continue to display two flowering plants until June 8 and hopes to attract more people interested in watching the tall flower tree, although the flowers begin to fade. This is also the event that attracted the attention of scientists because they can collect seeds of plants and send them to other botanical gardens.
