- This gigantic flower smells like rotten meat, hides its flowers under a thick leaf, and only blooms for 0.01% of its life. This evolutionary oddity is the Corpse Flower.

It looks like a plant out of a Tim Burton flick. The Corpse Flower Bride.
Corpse Flower sounds like a metal song
Or a band.

How do plants, who have no eyes, nose, or other senses we are aware of, learn to mimic the look and smell like rotting meat?
Actually plants have 20 senses :3
@@rainbowquartz2.0therockmar16 whaaaaat?!
They don’t “learn” to. Millennia of genetic mutations with occasional boosts to reproductive success led to the stinky plant you see here.
We live in a society
I guess you get a point.
Mimic plants and insects could teach us lot of things.
I reckon in our evolutionary process we do have a sens about our environment reacting about light and vibrations.
I'm from Indonesia, where the plant originated. Fun fact: The local term for Titan arum, bunga bangkai, overlaps with the local term for Rafflesia arnoldii, which means corpse flower as well.
It's not overlaps. Emang mereka berdua itu bunga bangkai. Tapi beda genus(?) atau jenis. Sama kaya paus, Kan ada paus sperma, paus biru gitu
@@CarstenHazz iya memang beda spesies. yang saya maksud overlap itu nama lokalnya (bukan klasifikasi ilmiahnya) karna dua-duanya di rujuk sebagai bunga bangkai.
Raflessia arnoldii sometimes we call it bunga padma
@@restumumpuni8265 yep, the official name for it is "padma raksasa"
Awesome that there's two separate giant rotten meat flowers there
I wonder why Little Shop of Horrors is stuck in my head through this whole video...
Wrong plant
@@masterofpuppets5072 As a matter of fact it was this is the plant that inspired the story of Little Shop. This stinky plan was first suspected by explorers to be hungry for human flesh causing its foul odor.
@@SwampNymph522 I thought the Venus fly trap was in Shop of Horrors
@@masterofpuppets5072 It resembles a mixture of an avocado and Venus Fly trap but when the corpse flower was originally discovered people thought it ate a human body and it rotted causing the smell. The Venus flytrap also played a key role in the story's formation.
@@SwampNymph522 ok
Nice try Madara, this is actually the divine tree
I see you are a man of culture aswel
What is this refers to? The only Madara I know from Natsume Yuujinchou so I’m not sure.
@@elif6908 I think this one refers to Naruto
@yoyoyames
Does it matter?
Six Paths Madara Uchida is still no match against Virgo Shaka.
@@whathell6t the mangaka is still no match to a 9mm
the corpse flower may be the tallest, but the rafflesia is the largest, and also uses the rotten flesh mimicry technique.
The rafflesia is also the biggest true flower. The titan arum blossom is an inflorescence, many flowers on the same flowering structure.
And it from indonesia too
And they both smell like death
I love this series so much because I just love learning more about funky plants :,)
There´s a couple of plants I know from my country Puerto Rico: one is a long tall grass that , somehow, the sides of the leaves have the ability to cut through skin as if they were made of razor blades- thing is you don´t even feel the cut until you see yourself bleeding, the next one is called "moriviví" (life-death) because once you touch the leaves they close: Mimosa pudica.
Please, do videos on them. Thanks-
I’m sure they’ll do one on the mimosa. Not as sure about the grass.
Can you let us know what’s the name of the Grass is?
@@LususxNaturae I read on google about sawgrass. Apparently, its edges are so sharp that they cut you if you walk into them wearing shorts. I first heard about them in an everglades tour video in school. So I guess they're common in the everglades. Maybe this is the grass?
That plant in my language: putri malu (shy princess).
@@kamila4979 Didn´t think of checking the messages. I just looked at the plant you mentioned. If it´s not the same one at least belongs to the same species. So thanks for that.
The flower releases its stench in puffs, so when you see one, you’ll notice some smell when you walk in, and then you’ll give a weird look to the person standing next to you a few minutes later, thinking they really need deodorant! It’s hottest at the tip of the spadix, where most of the odor is released.
Another cool thing about titan arums is their vegetative phase. When they’re not blooming, they put up one huge, branched leaf that looks like a tree with a spotted green trunk. There are other arums with a similar lifestyle and similarly foul smelling flowers, like Sauromatum venosum, a type of voodoo lily.
I was LITERALLY just talking about this. Like... You interrupted my thought process with this. BRUH!
That means you’re the one 🤯
@@cbreezy I'm sorry... Is this some reference from the vid I missed?
@@VitaeLibra you don’t even understand your power
Bruh bruh bruh bruh bruh...millenials cant start or end a sentence without bruh.
@@VNOMOUSDYALISIS read your sentence 🤡
“Cutest ovaries I’ve ever seen”
..first and last I’ve seen lmao
I find it weird where someone with a
supposed love of flora and fauna says she would rather not have
around pollinators because (undisclosed). The plant is utilising what
it has. Why is she such a hater? Because they like stinking sh*t??
well whenever u see a fruit you're seeing ovaries!
@@pol.86 thanks now I hate fruits
I bet that flower has a really deep voice.
Ha ha ha
Bruh another Justin
I knew someone would say this
I came here expecting Corpse husband jokes 😌
LMAO
I've always wondered what the inside of a rafflesia looked like
That's Amorphophallus, not Rafflesia!
Corpse flora sequel, inside a rafflesia
That’s why scientific names from taxing my exist. Both rafflesia and titan arum are called corpse flower because of their smell, so it helps telling them apart. This is the amorphophallus genus
Rafflesia is the one that Vileplume has on top of its head. Its name in Japanese is literally just...rafflesia. Titan arum makes me think of skunk cabbage.
"It really smells as ad as advertized, a mixture of fish guts and boiled cabbage"
Well, it seems an appetizing meal for me :p
I think it wants you to breed with it
@@bmba well, when nature calls...
Man i hate boiled cabbage
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the the great content
Inuttut.
Might as well name the channel
“Naturalogic”
Espanol
The placement of the ad announcement right in the opening of the episode was jarring.
FLORALOGIC: What an amazing side name for a CZcams Channel.
Ohh i didn’t realise that Floralogic was a thing! I love it! Its very fun to see fun plant facts :D
As an avid D&D player, the name definitely caught my attention. I've seen these plants before, but never knew this was their actual name. I also didn't know they were both male and female, so that's interesting.
blooms for only 0.01% of its life, funniest sh** i’ve ever seen
Thanks for the video. It's relative, Skunk Cabbage, will be blooming here in Maine soon. They often melt snow and ice away from the flower with the heat they produce. It's the bloom that says Spring is coming to the North.
David Attenborough : Makes a mistake
Me : I'll allow it
3:34 Sir, you should see a doctor...
I was trying to avoid that part why must you 😭😭😭
I've seen the one in Seattle a number of times. It's so impressive and beautiful in its own way
Love it,wheb Animalogic makes every animal feel like a god.
It just make my day
They are God’s creatures so it makes sense
Well, flies do live in heaven (the Bible only refers to the sky/space as heaven e.g. birds are called fowls of heaven) and can fly, so if the shoe fits...
Plants are not animals
TASHA THE AMAZON OMG! I love her music! ♥
We do too
And she's a natural on camera. Talent.
A little trivia, Arum in Indonesian can mean nice smelling, which is often associated with the nice smell of (regular flowers) hahahaha
I love this plant, but I also love the leaf stage of this plant, it's almost as interesting as the bloom as it's tree-like but its one giant leaf
I appreciate this channel 🙏 Animalogic thank you. Each one of you, are very informal. Thank you.
Bein' real with you chief. I didn't even notice I was watching an Animalogic video. Until you said "Floralogic". Hope this "Floralogic" series continues too.
But why does it only bloom every few years? And for so short a time?
Seems like it minimizes its odds of a successful pollination that way.
It requires a huge amount of energy to produce, it hasn't got enough energy to create a flower each year or for longer. It's a trade-off of attraction vs cost, this is very very attractive but also very costly were a daisy isn't that attractive but also quite cheap.
kinda how long human can make veggie taste like a meat...
This flower literally made it out of soil... Maybe except the taste... Did somebody ever try to taste it?
@@meninsilau I dunno...the smell might be off-putting,smell does affect taste.
I'd love to see one of these in bloom someday. They're strangely beautiful
Umm, I think those guys needed looked at if they thought that's what a phallus looks like.
I love Floralogic!!! More, pretty please? 🥺💕
Such a great episode! Loving Tasha and Floralogic!!!!!
Sadly in flower hometown Indonesia we cut down the flower because some ppl think the flower attract ghost or something....
Hope people will save the flower from extinct
This video leaves me with so many more questions about this plant (pun only kinda intended)
I would love to have a corpse flower!
Thank you!
I remember seeing one of these in the botanical gardens in Munich, in bloom aswell!
This flower has a very deep voice for sure
Imagine this flower being sent in funeral homes😅
i tried to see one of these bloom yesterday! it turned out to be misidentified by the owner and was rather a smaller related plant, but it was still cool!
I had the pleasure of seeing a bloomed corpse flower a few years ago. I can smell it in my brain nose now just looking at it! It really is stunning and velvety! It the way it makes heat is so wild! It stank up the 5 story science building hahaha
Floralogic is great! I love the botany themed content
I really shouldn't have been eating while watching this.
Selaginella is an interesting green machine that would be fun to hear about!
When I was kid I often saw this flower in my backyard, but for some reason now it is rarely seen
Plz talk about the near unkillable snake plant or the parasitic rafflesia flower
Soon!
I remember going to Moody Gardens back home in Texas just so see this thing bloom
I remember from your Shoebill video you talked about a bird called a Hamerkop, if like to learn more about them
Hi from Panamá 🇵🇦. Great explanación! Would you like to tell us about the Tallipod palm tree? It flowers about every 77 to 100 years and only once before die!?
I would love to see a saguaro in floralogic anyways what a great video
I had one of these bloom at my university, but I came too late to smell it, they had already aired out the greenhouse by the time I was able to visit. :(
It was pretty dope tho.
"...that we all know and love."
I'm not really sure about loving a plant that smells like rotten flesh.
wait.. this is not ANIMAL
And btw, glad there is more species from my country that get into this channel. i hope this channel do more of indonesia's species series. there is a lot of them. indonesia is the 2nd or 3rd most biodiverse region on earth, u know..
I saw one a few months ago at the SF Botanical Garden. They have several plants so they usually have one blooming every few years.
The New York Botanical Garden had a corpse flower bloom in 1932 (the first in the Western Hemisphere) and again in 1939. Then, nothing for decades. Then three in 2016, 2018, and 2019. I've had the honor (?) of seeing and smelling two of them. It's unforgettable; yet not as nauseating as I'd been led to believe.
I planted an 𝘈𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴 sp( i think it’s 𝘈𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘶𝘴 ) in my backyard, three years later it flower for the first. Unfortunately i have to cut it becoz the whole neighbourhood could smell it.
I saw and smelled one of these a few years ago. A very fun memory because the blooming happened after a gothic party nearby and half the club was there
Nothing better then a flower reeking of rotten flesh that blooms at night for a company like that 😂
how unfortunate, the leaves and the stalk of this plant also majestic, huge and have unique white spot. they shown on the vid, but never mentioned. forestry office near my home plant some of this plant in their garden, and same as in this vid, always invite a lot of people to watch.
We also found a smaller version of this flower in our backyard. It smells so bad we gotta get rid of it.
You forgot to tell about the leaflets that looks like a smol tree , the plant spends most of its time as the green leaflets , those die out too bc of the dry season, and the corm stays underground
Woah woah woah! You skipped from corm straight to inflorescence?! The coolest part is that the thing basically turns into a huge tree for the majority of its life! Only on the final year is when it stops sending up the leaves and finally sends up the flower!
Still love the vid, though. And thanks for being the first person to actually describe the feeling of touching one for yourself.
Always so interesting either flora or fauna
Titan Arum
Arum means fragrant in javanese, ironic right 😂😂
and surprisingly the taste of some family of corpes flower like Amorphophallus paeoniifolius root actualy delicious. but need the extra step to neutralize its poison.
It grows so much time but when it blooms, it dies in just 2 days but still the flower is amazing
An interesting plant. I wonder how long does it live?
We had one on our backyard over 30 years as of me writing this. We had no idea until it woke us up early one morning with the worst thing I'd ever smelt.
Amorphophallus Titanum is now added to my list of delusional self perceptions. Thank you!
Cool, my garden has one of those
“The invention of a goth wizard” was not what I was expecting to hear in this vid
Amorphophallus titanum. I have seen it in person in Bogor Botanical Garden but unfortunately it already passed its prime
Even in my hometown its rare to find a blooming one.
This plant had accidntly grow at my backyard once, made my neighbours curious and think that i'm a serial killer or smthing cuz of its smell.
But they were never wrong untill then.....
2:24 This is the first world map I've seen wich has america on its right
I truly enjoyed the crap out of this video and hope to see more like it soon. Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful day. ❣️🤓
I don't know why I started researching that flower from denis the menace. Lol the old man was really pissed about his flower.
moreso when it was introduced into animal crossing) though as much as the blooming phase is cool, the leaf phase of the plant is just as cool, even moreso that it’s a tree sized GIANT single Leaf
Whoah! Was not expecting that piping hot Attenborough tea 🍵
Wow they made dead bodies for amogus into a real thing!
I always got it and the rafflesia mixed up
This reminds me about that Simpsons episode where Moe was the only one who couldn't see this flower blooming and thought that he was unlucky but the flower smell was so bad it instantly killed every plant in the garden
I remember a while back that the Chicago Batanic Garden's had one. They announced the the day it would bloom and many people came wanting to see it. They live streamed it so I watched online. Well the thing wouldn't bloom. And the people were waiting. Patiently at first. And then this guy started yelling about we came all this way to see it. So one of the workers came out and cut it open. I was appalled. Made me feel like people suck.
I have this is my Grandma's front yard, it blooms very rarely and I think it had only bloom like... Twice? Maybe three times in my lifetime of 17 years. My family always freaks out when it blooms😂😂
ok but. how did a plant know what rotting meat smells, looks, and feels like
Nice question.
Mother nature ,mother nature...
It didn’t. Some mutations happened to make one smell a bit more attractive to flies, attracting new pollinators. Over time, more mutations and selective pressure fine tuned the stench cocktail.
@@evilsharkey8954 Ah, fair enough. Forgot about that!
Love this!!!
Fun Fact: This flower, aka Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum, is the basis for the pokemon Meganium.
can't wait for the rafflesia arnoldi episode!
Ohh, I got to see this flower in bloom in the greenhouse at McMaster university.
There's one in Buffalo ny in the botanical garden
They even named it
I'd love an episode about sequoia(s) :-)
I have that in my backyard, but the small one.
You could say that the insects got catfished 😂😂😂 lol.
They had one out here in Seattle. It smells bad lol
please make a vid about kakarikis they are amazing parrots
What do you mean? that’s the monokuma plant
That's cool there's more flowers inside!
But how does it disperse seeds and what do they look like ???
It would have been nice had you shown that enormous one leaf that it grows from.
