Amorphophallus titanum is the largest flowering plant in the world. Watch our plant bloom online at this website Corpse flower at Quail Botanical Gardens

The common name is "Titan" because it grows so big. Another name is "Mr. Stinky" because when it blooms it emits an odor which exactly mimics those of rotting flesh. This putrid order attracts carrion beetles that pollinate the flower.

After seven years, our plant grew its first flower. The flower may grow up to 4 feet wide and 7 feet tall. And it usually grows up to half a foot per day. Ours opened 55 inches tall, and over 40 inches wide.

We are now able to offer you two relatives of Titan, these are Devil's Tongue and the Snake Palm.

Devil's Tongue (Amorphophallus konjac)

Recieve a bulb that is 2"-3" in diameter. This unusual tuberous plant from Asia, produces one large leaf each year. The leaf spreads in a canopy of leaflets 3-4' wide, which sit atop of a -6' tall stalk like petiole. When it reaches maturity, the plant can produce a flower up to 6 feet tall! The huge flowers have two distinct parts: the petal-like spathe, which ranges from red to dark maroon in color, and the finger-like spadix, which rises in the center of the flower. The spadix contrasts with the spathe with its stunning purple or yellow coloring. The beautiful green and purple mottling along the petiole of the leaf gives this plant its other common name of “Leopard palm.“

Snake Palm (Amorphophallus bulbifer)

Recieve a bulb that is 2"-3" in diameter. In sharp contrast with its larger cousins, A. titanum and A. konjac, this species of Amorphophallus remains much smaller overall. Its leaves grow about 3-4' tall, with a leaf spread of about 2-3' wide. While it may be smaller than the other Amorphophallus, its flower is no less amazing. The flower is about a foot tall, with a creamy pink colored spathe, surrounding a white and cream colored spadix. Also, the petioles and peduncles, the stem-like portions of its flowers, are unusual. They are covered with an incredible amount of mottling, green speckles over white. It is from this 'snake skin' look that it earned the common name “Snake Palm.”

By the end of each summer, each leaf forms brown warts, aerial bulbs, which can be removed and planted to make additional plants.

Availability: Usually ships in 5-7 business days.
