Corpse Flower: The Tallest Flower In The World

- 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.

Corpse Flower sounds like a metal song
Or a band.
@@deadlydingus1138 Possibly from Norway.

Death Metal?
by Machine Gun Kelly, featuring Corpse husband
It looks like a plant out of a Tim Burton flick. The Corpse Flower Bride.
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 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
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
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
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 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.

“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
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?
@@justsah24 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.
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
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.
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 love this series so much because I just love learning more about funky plants :,)
FLORALOGIC: What an amazing side name for a CZcams Channel.
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.
"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
David Attenborough : Makes a mistake
Me : I'll allow it
blooms for only 0.01% of its life, funniest sh** i’ve ever seen
Ohh i didn’t realise that Floralogic was a thing! I love it! Its very fun to see fun plant facts :D
This flower has a very deep voice for sure
3:34 Sir, you should see a doctor...
I was trying to avoid that part why must you 😭😭😭
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.
A little trivia, Arum in Indonesian can mean nice smelling, which is often associated with the nice smell of (regular flowers) hahahaha
TASHA THE AMAZON OMG! I love her music! ♥
We do too
And she's a natural on camera. Talent.
Plz talk about the near unkillable snake plant or the parasitic rafflesia flower
Soon!
Imagine this flower being sent in funeral homes😅
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.
Such a great episode! Loving Tasha and Floralogic!!!!!
I would love to have a corpse flower!
Thank you!
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
This video leaves me with so many more questions about this plant (pun only kinda intended)
Umm, I think those guys needed looked at if they thought that's what a phallus looks like.
I really shouldn't have been eating while watching this.
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.
"Cutest ovaries I've ever seen"
I literally spilled my morning coffee laughing when I heard this.
XD
Got a similar reaction!
I love Floralogic!!! More, pretty please? 🥺💕
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.
Wow right on time
Yeah
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
Dats a big flower
Corpse Husband!!!!
Not to be rude or annoying but I am kinda sad that I can pretty much foresee that this will get more likes than some interesting fact that they didn't have in the video
Edit: I'm being memed on by Animalogic and it's a horrifying experience. Don't try this at home kids
@@VitaeLibra ok
@Helge Holme ok
Edit: No mal-meme intended! To make up for it, here is an interesting fact that we didn't include in the video. The Corpse Flower used to be the official flower of the Bronx, because America's first recorded Corpse Flower bloom took place there in 1937.
@@animalogic ok
Titan Arum
Arum means fragrant in javanese, ironic right 😂😂
"...that we all know and love."
I'm not really sure about loving a plant that smells like rotten flesh.
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!
I'd love to see one of these in bloom someday. They're strangely beautiful
0:40 "Flowers are in the business of being attractive."
Had no idea Tasha was a flower 👌
2:10 **sniff** **projectile vomit**
I would love to see a saguaro in floralogic anyways what a great video
Floralogic is great! I love the botany themed content
I've seen the one in Seattle a number of times. It's so impressive and beautiful in its own way
Amorphophallus Titanum is now added to my list of delusional self perceptions. Thank you!
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.
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
I remember seeing one of these in the botanical gardens in Munich, in bloom aswell!
I'm noticing a theme here.
Plants!?! Not to worry, there will be many animals coming up as well.
Lol ☺️
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.
Do the Rafflesia Arnoldii next!
I remember going to Moody Gardens back home in Texas just so see this thing bloom
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. ❣️🤓
2:24 This is the first world map I've seen wich has america on its right
Corpse flowers be like:
After 1 decade: blooms
1 day later: *Coughing noises* dies
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!
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
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
Always so interesting either flora or fauna
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 😂
When I was kid I often saw this flower in my backyard, but for some reason now it is rarely seen
Selaginella is an interesting green machine that would be fun to hear about!
Love this!!!
That's cool there's more flowers inside!
Whoah! Was not expecting that piping hot Attenborough tea 🍵
Floralogic was a great idea!
I love any plant that gives even the most disgusting creatures a chance.
can't wait for the rafflesia arnoldi episode!
Sunflowers.
Pumpkins, squashes and other gourds.
We also found a smaller version of this flower in our backyard. It smells so bad we gotta get rid of it.
“The invention of a goth wizard” was not what I was expecting to hear in this vid
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..
Please do an episode on cordyceps!
Me now at 1:29 am: "I don't need sleep, I need answers".
I am enjoying plantlogic

Fun Fact: This flower, aka Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum, is the basis for the pokemon Meganium.
Wow they made dead bodies for amogus into a real thing!
Nice video!
Petal looks like a Siamese Beta Tail very beautiful
You could say that the insects got catfished 😂😂😂 lol.
I remember from your Shoebill video you talked about a bird called a Hamerkop, if like to learn more about them
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 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.
This thing is so bizarre.
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
Even in my hometown its rare to find a blooming one.
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.
Cool, my garden has one of those
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.
She's just an awesome speaker.
It grows so much time but when it blooms, it dies in just 2 days but still the flower is amazing
