Amorphophallus titanum 'Titan Arum'
One of the most spectacular plants to be found in the wet tropics is the titan arum. With its huge flowering structure (inflorescence) rising over 2.5m above the ground and its single immense leaf, it certainly is a giant among plants, as its name suggests. Coupled with its characteristic foul stench, and the rarity of flowerings, this plant is truly wonderful.
