Amorphophallus galbra

Amorphophallus galbra is a fascinating and distinctive plant species known for its striking appearance and unique reproductive strategy. Commonly referred to as the "voodoo lily," it belongs to the Amorphophallus genus, which encompasses various unusual and exotic plants.

What sets A. galbra apart is its large, mottled stem, which resembles the pattern of a snake's skin, and its towering, foul-smelling flowers of a plantinflorescence. When in bloom, this unusual flower emits a strong odor akin to that of rotting flesh, earning it the nickname "corpse flower." This scent serves to attract carrion flies, which are essential for pollination.
