There are not enough words to describe the brilliance of Sir David's presentations. The diversity of his crew has never ceased to amaze me over the thirty plus years I have experienced his their performances.His raw love and respect for all nature is obvious. How heartbreaking it must be to see the destruction the greatest creature of all has managed to create in such a short space of time,humans.
When you come across such weird but totally incredible acts of nature such as this it is humbling and puts into perspective that humans are indeed only a small part of the jigsaw.
That was quite useful to watch as I'm writing an essay about these plants. It doesn't mention anything about the fact that they produce heat though, which is one of the features that attracts the insects.
I just saw one of these in my local botanic garden conservatory. It's huge, I couldn't get a photo with both the tip and base. Smells like old pet food, dirty socks and rotten fish.
OK people. Think. How does a plant know when 7 years are up? What other plants is it cross pollinating with? Do they bloom for two nights together? God is behind all this. Not evolution. More suppressed facts; Antarctica is 30degrees C colder than the arctic and never gets 24hour sunlight. The fantasy curve is 66feet over 10miles. We can see land over 100 miles in the distance. The suez canal is 100miles long with no locks. Pilots make no accommodation for the curve when flying around and gyroscopes show the earth is still. The earth is flat as it says in the KJV Bible. Satan has deceived the world as it says in the KJV Bible. The relationship with God is personal and does not require you messing about with satanic mainstream religions. Nature is jam packed full of mystery and God's miracles as the deceiver attenborough constantly alludes to. I recommend you read all his nature books as they expose many mysteries even though he remains completely ignorant. He is probably a 33rd degree mason who worships satan. Nasa is full of the masons and the government, education and science have been compromised by the monopoly rothschilds working out of the sovereign state griffin / satanic city of London. Want to know more, I refer you to Edward Hendrie and Texe Marrs.
technically, the largest living organism -- singular -- is a grove of Aspen tress networked by their roots. Although this organism is comprised of a group of other organisms it remains still the world's largest.
call it what you will, its just that size is not all about one of the three dementions on the grid, personally, ive never seen either of the plants in person. Its something theyd have to settle with some sort of scale.
titan arum or Amorphophallus titanum is a flowering plant with the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world. The largest single flower is borne by the Rafflesia arnoldii. he largest branched inflorescence in the plant kingdom belongs to the Talipot palm (Corypha umbraculifera. hope this information will help you

Not quite. Sumatra is in Indonesia which is closer to Singapore. Granted Singapore is on the Malaysian Peninsula, well the tip of it anyways. But it's not Malaysia.
It's so amazing. But what are the red parts that surround the giant yellow part? The petals of the flowers at the bottom? I dun get it D: Either way, it's pure awesomeness.
I saw one of these today, and smelled it. And it does smell like a dead animal, although the smell didn't spread very far and you had to pretty much put your face in the flower to clearly smell it. And I am not going to join in with the majority of the comments which make stupid sexual remarks.
HI, im a biologist too... and also studying the Latin names. Sometimes difficult, but its interesting ;) IM studying Agriculture, got there a lot of Latin Names (around 1200)... :D and im not MetalZOMES but its Metal MOZES, but never mind ;)
As a matter of fact, bees do like fishy smell. Bees will fly around us, land on our fish bait and rods when I am fishing. They were pretty annoying, I say. I thought they only like sweet smelling flowers.

He is so interesting and calming to listen to
David attenborough is awesome. His documentaries are gift to us. Gems.
Love David Attenborough. Great voice and delivery, charming and passionate - even when describing the grotesque.
Gosh, i watch this back after 14years
Nature, you never cease to amaze me.
WOW I love this family of plants
I love these programmes so interesting...
When you come across such weird but totally incredible acts of nature such as this it is humbling and puts into perspective that humans are indeed only a small part of the jigsaw.
I just saw the titan arum bloom over here in New Zealand, smelly but beautiful :)
Incredible ..amazing.... we could learn a lot from nature and should rather than destroying and disrespecting it.. mother earth x
I like listening to this guy in these documentaries. Private life of Plants was much more interesting than I anticipated.

this triggered my phobia of flowers when i was 6. i haven't yet recovered

Good description, I just think about that closed up for almost 3 years, it would have to smell like that, lol.. 😀
my country all beautiful.. i loved it!!
u can find Titan Arum only in Sumatera...
cool... i want one for my living room!!
Oh I bet Paris Hilton would just love that flower
For the first time one of these flowered at the greenhouse I volunteer at in my University. It was pretty exciting :D
Was the stink really that bad?
@@cigurett8884 I remember it didn’t smell great but it wasn’t unbearable
I was wondering if it was really like a pungent rotting carcass or just like a general smell similar to stinkhorn mushrooms.
His voice does me remind of a spoof of this programme 'I Hate Nature'. I don't know why, it must be one of my friends who sent that once..
best valetines gift EVAR
saw it too in the greenhouse of the botanical garden, what a smell !!
Since last 17 years this is the biggest flower in the world 😊
i agree with you, i learnt this in primery school
*~* wowza *~* that's one spectacular flower.
nifty little bees too!
0:01

i saw this plant today as it was growing at denmark in Copenhagen :))
HOLY COW!
Oh my childhood
So every 3 years it flowers? Wow. Very cool.
That would make an interesting flower to give on valentine's day.
Awesome video! I grow A. Konjacs and they too stink to high heaven!
DAVID ATTENBOROUGH IS THE SHIZZ
"and here it is."
The biggest phallus amazing :))
amen to that
so beautiful looking yet so nasty smelling...hence why it's called the corpse flower lol
Add a little Lysol, and it is the perfect Mothers' Day gift.

girls be like “wow thats not big enough”
It is the largest single flower in the world, Titan arum is the the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world
one question, will it blend?
David sir
Not quite. Sumatra is in Indonesia which is closer to Singapore. Granted Singapore is on the Malaysian Peninsula, well the tip of it anyways. But it's not Malaysia.
lucky it's not a man-eater
No, that would be the "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space". LOL!
HOLY FUKIN GOD! thts huge
the seeds on those are stupidly huge
oooh i know this one they show them in the tarzan games lol
Im half and half surprised the flower did not try to eat him
It's so amazing.
But what are the red parts that surround the giant yellow part? The petals of the flowers at the bottom?
I dun get it D:
Either way, it's pure awesomeness.
almost as big as my shaft
Does this remind anyone else of Mr. Wilson from Dennis the Menace movie?
This reminds me of another small flower that only blooms every 7 years, if I have my facts right
i got the smaller version "Konjac". just waiting for the flower!
Can you imagine what went through the head of the person who first discovered this thing?
You know Vileplume was based on Raflesia, right? Vileplume's original Japanese name was "Rafflesia"
Raflesia looks like Vileplume!!!
heard about this flower from gta san andreas on a radio call-in show :) looks amazing!
You are correct. It's the largest UNBRANCHED INFLORESCENCE.
wow! Subhan Allah
lmao woah i actually get that
The thing is called 'corpse flower' lol - in Indonesia ...
wonder if it really smells that bad...
..... wow
ill take a dozen.
The smaller species grew in my backyard :D
lol i should try giving it to my gf...
It's like Rafflesia arnoldi in Borneo.
Spray it with Perfume or Axe? Lol
What about Rafflesia arnoldii?
Largest individual flower remember this is actually a bunch of flowers gathered.
I saw one of these today, and smelled it. And it does smell like a dead animal, although the smell didn't spread very far and you had to pretty much put your face in the flower to clearly smell it.
And I am not going to join in with the majority of the comments which make stupid sexual remarks.
he was tripping on the smell
Reminds me of some of the flowers from Avatar.
I wonder if anyone has tried to smoke those stigmas...
@mark5angel hehe, me too. Waiting for that flower to shut close and munch.
yes, you right. it's indonesian native flower
someones been reading day of the triffids :P
HI, im a biologist too... and also studying the Latin names. Sometimes difficult, but its interesting ;)
IM studying Agriculture, got there a lot of Latin Names (around 1200)... :D

FEED ME SEYMOUR!!!
wow
@Ericroxable lol i thought it was suspucious when he said "titan phallus" lol
As a matter of fact, bees do like fishy smell. Bees will fly around us, land on our fish bait and rods when I am fishing. They were pretty annoying, I say. I thought they only like sweet smelling flowers.
This flower is very big and beautiful, but very rotten like a dead body
Wow only flowers once every three years....
It's like that planet from Star Wars... What was it called. Felucia I think...
It's in Indonesia
yeah i know wot you mean!!! hehe....sorta.... like..... a flower!! hehehe. Right?!
so if a flower that smells like dead fish attracts these bees, would dead fish be swarmed by these bees?
haha yeah they resemble trichomes for sure. I've pondered smoking the eerily similar nectar glands on a sundew haha.. not seriously though
