The biggest flower in the world - Amorphophallus

Amorphophallus bulbifer

🗿 The biggest flower in the world - Amorphophallus. The name speaks for itself.

After meeting Sausage Tree and Clitoria, are you ready for the Amorphophallus? Now you have seen everything!
  • 💀 Common names of this exceptional plant: Voodoo lily, Devils tongue, Snake Palm, Elephant Foot Yam, Corpse flower.
  • 💀 Why Corpse flower? Because of the smell that the flower omits, which is only present for a few hours after the flower opens - to attract pollinator flies!
  • 💀 Amorphophallus is the largest flower in the world and one of the most exotic bizarre flowers. Amorphophallus titanum is known for its massive size, its flower can reach heights of over 10 feet and blooms only once every few years.
  • 💀 This perennial exotic Asian plant grows a single, elongated center called a corm (that is actually edible) and a single large leaf that wraps around it.
  • 💀 The seed stalk is very pretty with the seeds changing colors from green to red. During this time the tuber will not produce a leaf. After the flower and seed stalk dies away, a giant single leaf grows from the tuber.
  • 💀 The single leaf dormant in winter, then in spring the plant shoots out this fantastic flower again.
  • 💀 It is relatively cold hardy tropical and can survive cooler winters during dormancy.
  • 💀 Can be easily grown in a pot as a houseplant.

How to attract more butterflies to your garden?
🦋 How to attract more butterflies to your garden?

Attracting butterflies to your garden can be a fun and rewarding experience. Here are some tips to help you create a butterfly-friendly environment.
  • 💐 Choose the right plants: butterflies are attracted to nectar-producing flowers such as odontonemas.
  • 💐 Plant lots of bright flowers, especially of yellow and pink colors like some cassias which seem to be the pleasant to butterfly's eye.
  • 💐 Use a variety of flowers to attract different species of butterflies. Check the list of butterfly-attracting tropical plants.
  • 💐 Provide food for caterpillars: butterflies lay their eggs on specific host plants that caterpillars will eat. For example, monarch butterflies lay their eggs on milkweed. Passion flower (Passiflora) and Aristolochia that we introduced earlier, are also great butterfly hosts, but be prepared to sacrifice some leaves!
  • 💐 Provide a water source: butterflies need a source of water to drink from. A shallow dish or birdbath with rocks in it will provide a place for butterflies to rest and drink.
  • 💐 Avoid using pesticides: they can harm butterflies and other beneficial insects. Try using natural methods to control pests in your garden.
  • 💐 Create a sunny spot: butterflies love warm, sunny spots. Plant your butterfly garden in an area that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.
  • 💐 Add a butterfly house to provide shelter for butterflies during bad weather and at night.
