Titan Arum

I dropped by the Melbourne Botanic Gardens today to see the Titan Arum, Amorphophallus titanum. It obligingly flowered on Christmas day and the main flower is still looking good though the central spathe is wrinkled. No smell of rotting flesh fortunately and the queue to view it wasn't long.

I wonder how much longer the flower will last, but I'm pleased to have seen it in the flesh (so to speak!).
