It should be illegal for me to own an orchid. I remember my mom had one forever. Always bore toms of beautiful flowers. Never have a good spot with appropriate sun I suppose. I’m a moss guy now. I collect moss I find lol
Yes. There are only about 500 corpse flowers alive in captivity, and all of them are related. In the wild, they are almost extinct. And yes, also related to the captive members. They keep a stud book on this species to reduce the worst of the inbreeding. But in order to save the species by maintaining genetic health, they have begun pollination with closely related species of amorphophallus.
where do they originate?! image youre from there and its early humans on earth and you walk up to this this like yoooo wtf!!! wheres the dinosaurs!!!!?

So they can pollinate it easily.... And for demonstration purposes.... like making this video ... which wouldn't have been possible without cutting it...
This flower actually stinks like a rotten corpse when it blooms right??? Also I am pretty sure that they're rare and you have to wait a long time for it to bloom???
