    with this production quality i would assume something like 2mil subs, but then i take a look and i honestly cant believe that you guys only have 24k. You guys deserve much more than that.

      ChromosomeCake well.. I Don't know if he deserves that.. but he definitely got the potential for 100k + subscribers.. but being a UA-camr is much more than make high quality content.. also he have to be more consistent and making videos more regularly .. and have some shout outs from other similar channel's.. it's not as easy as it sounds 😊

    I had no idea plants could even generate their own heat.

      Another good one is the eastern skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus). It generates heat so it can sprout in icy soil when snow is still on the ground - one of the first blooms of the season. Of course, the heat also helps volatilize its odor - it smells like a skunk!

    u forget to mention that this plant is allogamous, which mean they need a cross pollination with other plant to produce seeds. and in their natural habitat, the distance between one plant to another can be very far.. that's why they produce a strong smelly odor, to allow the cross pollination.

      It's on there! The first corpse flower in New Zealand bloomed in 2013 in Auckland's Domain Wintergardens. It waited an unusually short amount of time for a repeat, blooming again in 2015.

      @skunkbear  8 років тому

      Not sure the species - but its on a giant chandelier-thing that slowly rotates. I'll check with the USBG
