Rotterdam zoo's Giant Penis Plant, known for "corpse" smell, in rare bloom
A rare moment where the Diergaarde Blijdorp was able to announce it's Titan Arum plant was in bloom should be considered an "exceptional botanical event," the zoo said on Wednesday. Known as the Corpse Flower in some parts of the world, and the Giant Penis Plant in the Netherlands, it only blooms for a maximum of about 72 hours when the unusual plant flowers, an event which last happened in Rotterdam in 2023.
In the past sixty years, it has happened only twice, but it is happening again at Blijdorp Zoo: the giant penis plant is in bloom. The plant, known for its shape and pungent smell, last bloomed in 1963 and 2023. Those who want to see it must hurry: the bloom lasts only two to three days.
