It looks like a plant out of a Tim Burton flick. The Corpse Flower Bride.
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.
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?
They don’t “learn” to. Millennia of genetic mutations with occasional boosts to reproductive success led to the stinky plant you see here.
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.
Nice try Madara, this is actually the divine tree
What is this refers to? The only Madara I know from Natsume Yuujinchou so I’m not sure.
@yoyoyames
Does it matter?
Six Paths Madara Uchida is still no match against Virgo Shaka.
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.
“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??
I wonder why Little Shop of Horrors is stuck in my head through this whole video...
@@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.
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-
@@LususxNaturae 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?
@@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 was LITERALLY just talking about this. Like... You interrupted my thought process with this. BRUH!
Bruh bruh bruh bruh bruh...millenials cant start or end a sentence without bruh.
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.
FLORALOGIC: What an amazing side name for a UA-cam Channel.
I love this series so much because I just love learning more about funky plants :,)
I've always wondered what the inside of a rafflesia looked like
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.
"It really smells as ad as advertized, a mixture of fish guts and boiled cabbage"
Well, it seems an appetizing meal for me :p
Thanks for watching!
The placement of the ad announcement right in the opening of the episode was jarring.
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
David Attenborough : Makes a mistake
Me : I'll allow it
Such a great episode! Loving Tasha and Floralogic!!!!!
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.
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.
"Cutest ovaries I've ever seen"
I literally spilled my morning coffee laughing when I heard this.
XD
A little trivia, Arum in Indonesian can mean nice smelling, which is often associated with the nice smell of (regular flowers) hahahaha
This flower has a very deep voice for sure
Imagine this flower being sent in funeral homes😅
I appreciate this channel 🙏 Animalogic thank you. Each one of you, are very informal. Thank you.
I really shouldn't have been eating while watching this.
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.
Umm, I think those guys needed looked at if they thought that's what a phallus looks like.
This video leaves me with so many more questions about this plant (pun only kinda intended)
Plz talk about the near unkillable snake plant or the parasitic rafflesia flower
Love it,wheb Animalogic makes every animal feel like a god.
It just make my day
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...
I'd love to see one of these in bloom someday. They're strangely beautiful
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.
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
Floralogic is great! I love the botany themed content
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've seen the one in Seattle a number of times. It's so impressive and beautiful in its own way
I would love to have a corpse flower!
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.
2:10 **sniff** **projectile vomit**
I love Floralogic!!! More, pretty please? 🥺💕
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. ❣️🤓
Dats a big flower
I remember seeing one of these in the botanical gardens in Munich, in bloom aswell!
Amorphophallus Titanum is now added to my list of delusional self perceptions. Thank you!
Corpse flowers be like:
After 1 decade: blooms
1 day later: *Coughing noises* dies
I remember going to Moody Gardens back home in Texas just so see this thing bloom
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
"...that we all know and love."
I'm not really sure about loving a plant that smells like rotten flesh.
Me now at 1:29 am: "I don't need sleep, I need answers".
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.
Selaginella is an interesting green machine that would be fun to hear about!
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!
Titan Arum
Arum means fragrant in javanese, ironic right 😂😂
When I was kid I often saw this flower in my backyard, but for some reason now it is rarely seen
Love this!!!
ok but. how did a plant know what rotting meat smells, looks, and feels like
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.
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
“The invention of a goth wizard” was not what I was expecting to hear in this vid
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
@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.
That's cool there's more flowers inside!
Always so interesting either flora or fauna
Whoah! Was not expecting that piping hot Attenborough tea 🍵
I love any plant that gives even the most disgusting creatures a chance.
can't wait for the rafflesia arnoldi episode!
We also found a smaller version of this flower in our backyard. It smells so bad we gotta get rid of it.
Floralogic was a great idea!
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 😂
I would love to see a saguaro in floralogic anyways what a great video
Do the Rafflesia Arnoldii next!
It grows so much time but when it blooms, it dies in just 2 days but still the flower is amazing
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
I am enjoying plantlogic
You could say that the insects got catfished 😂😂😂 lol.
Please do an episode on cordyceps!
I remember from your Shoebill video you talked about a bird called a Hamerkop, if like to learn more about them
Nice video!
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.
Sunflowers.
Pumpkins, squashes and other gourds.
Fun Fact: This flower, aka Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum, is the basis for the pokemon Meganium.
Corpse Husband, Corpse Bride, and now Corpse Flower
I have this is my Grandma's front yard, it blooms very rarely and I think it had only bloom like... Twice? Maybe three times in my lifetime of 17 years. My family always freaks out when it blooms😂😂
Petal looks like a Siamese Beta Tail very beautiful
This thing is so bizarre.
Me: hey... that looks like the greenhouse down the street.
Video: we went to gage park
Me: whaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!?
Hi from Panamá 🇵🇦. Great explanación! Would you like to tell us about the Tallipod palm tree? It flowers about every 77 to 100 years and only once before die!?
Even in my hometown its rare to find a blooming one.
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..
how unfortunate, the leaves and the stalk of this plant also majestic, huge and have unique white spot. they shown on the vid, but never mentioned. forestry office near my home plant some of this plant in their garden, and same as in this vid, always invite a lot of people to watch.
Wow they made dead bodies for amogus into a real thing!
Cool, my garden has one of those
Corpse Flower sounds like a metal song
Or a band.
